Instant Project Announcements on WhatsApp
When a new project launches in Linear—a product feature, marketing campaign, infrastructure overhaul—Notis sends a WhatsApp message to your team with the project name, lead, and goal. Everyone's on the same page from day one.
Trigger
Project Created
Fires when a new Linear project is created. Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token, so visibility matches what the connected user can see in Linear.
Action
Send message
Send a text message to a whatsapp number. note: the message will reflect on the recipient's phone number only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
A new project is created in Linear and announced in a Slack post that nobody sees. Three days later, someone on your team finds out accidentally. Time and context are already lost.
- Ensure every team member knows about new initiatives immediately
- Reduce duplicate work caused by missed announcements
- Create a WhatsApp record of all project starts for reference
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and WhatsApp to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a new project is created in Linear, send a message to the team WhatsApp group with the project name, lead, and goal.'
- 3Select 'Project Created' as the trigger.
- 4Choose your team's main WhatsApp group as the notification channel.
- 5Test by creating a test project in Linear and verifying the announcement arrives.
Questions about this workflow
Will my team get spammed with project announcements?
Only when new projects are actually created. If that's too noisy, ask Notis to filter: 'Only announce projects marked as high priority or company-wide.'
Can I customize which projects trigger the notification?
Yes. You can exclude certain teams or templates, or only announce projects in specific areas—e.g., 'Only announce product and platform projects, not internal tools.'
What information appears in the WhatsApp message?
By default: project name, lead, and status. You can customize it: add due date, description, or priority. Or keep it minimal: just the project name and a link.
