Turn Notion Database Rows Into Linear Issues
New row in Notion? It becomes a Linear issue instantly. Structured databases stay perfectly in sync with your issue tracker.
Trigger
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
Action
Create linear issue
Creates a new issue in a specified linear project and team, requiring a title and description, and allowing for optional properties like assignee, state, priority, cycle, and due date.
Why this helps
Structured Notion databases feel organized, but they're siloed. When you add a row for a new feature, bug, or task, it doesn't flow to Linear where your team is working. Integration feels broken because you forgot to manually create the issue.
- Structured tracking: use Notion databases for organization, Linear for execution
- Property preservation: database properties flow into Linear issue fields
- Team alignment: structured data becomes immediately actionable for Linear users
- Single entry point: add to Notion database, work in Linear
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Linear to Notis.
- 2Create the automation: 'When I add a new row to my Notion [database name], create a Linear issue with that data.'
- 3Notis will ask which Notion database to monitor and which Linear team/project to target.
- 4Describe in plain language what should carry over, for example: use the row name as the issue title, the details as the description, and keep the priority.
- 5Test by creating a new database row in Notion and verifying the Linear issue appears with the correct properties.
Questions about this workflow
Can I map multiple Notion properties to a single Linear issue field?
Yes. For example, you can combine Notion properties into a richer Linear description. Tell Notis how you want the data formatted.
Do updates to existing Notion rows sync back to Linear?
This automation creates new issues from new rows. For ongoing syncing of updates, you'd create a separate automation for property changes.
What happens if a row is deleted in Notion?
Deleting a Notion row does not delete the corresponding Linear issue. You can optionally ask Notis to archive Linear issues when rows are deleted.
Can I filter which database rows create Linear issues?
Yes. For example, 'Only create Linear issues for rows where Status is Not Started' or 'Where Priority is High.'

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Linear. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Linear actions
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Create linear attachment
Creates a new attachment and associates it with a specific, existing linear issue.
Comment Created
Triggers when a new comment is created in Notion. Optional `page_id` filter scopes to comments on a specific page. When omitted, fires for any new comment in the workspace the integration has access to. Requires the 'Read comments' capability on the Notion integration. If a connection was authorized before that capability was enabled, the user must re-authorize the connection for comment events to flow.
Create a comment
Creates a new comment on a specified linear issue.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Create linear issue
Creates a new issue in a specified linear project and team, requiring a title and description, and allowing for optional properties like assignee, state, priority, cycle, and due date.
Database Created
Triggers when a new Notion database (the container) is created. A database is the post-2025-09-03 container that holds one or more data sources. This trigger fires for the container's creation event (`database.created`), distinct from `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` which fires when a new data source is added to an existing database. Most customers calling Notion's `POST /v1/databases` (the legacy API) or creating a database via the Notion UI will see this event. Adding a new data source to an existing database fires `data_source.created` instead — use `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` for that. Notion's payload puts `entity.type: "block"` (the container is a `child_database` block in the content tree) and `entity.id` is the database id.
Get create issue default params
Fetches a linear team's default issue estimate and state, useful for pre-filling new issue forms.
Data Source Created
Triggers when a new Notion data source is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload's `data.parent` carries the data source's tree parent (typically the teamspace) for downstream filtering. A single template-based database creation can fire multiple `data_source.created` events at once — one per data source the template instantiates.
Create a label
Creates a new label in linear for a specified team, used to categorize and organize issues.
Data Source Schema Updated
Triggers when a Notion data source's schema is updated. Fires on column add / remove / rename. Payload includes `data.updated_properties: [{id, name, action}]` so consumers can discriminate the kind of change downstream. Optional `data_source_id` filter scopes to schema changes on a single data source. When omitted, fires for any schema change in the workspace the integration has access to. Note: adding a column also fires `page.properties_updated` once per existing row in the data source. Customers wanting a single structural-change signal should use this trigger.
Delete issue
Archives an existing linear issue by its id, which is linear's standard way of deleting issues; the operation is idempotent.
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
Get all teams
Retrieves all teams from the linear workspace without requiring any parameters.
Page Added to Page
Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.
Download issue attachments
Downloads a specific attachment from a linear issue; the `file name` must include the correct file extension.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Not just Notion and Linear. Any combination from 985+ integrations.
