Map Notion Tags to Linear Labels Automatically

Tag a task in Notion, and the same label appears on the Linear issue. Taxonomy stays consistent without manual label management.

Trigger

Page Properties Updated

Triggers when properties of a Notion page are updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any property change in the workspace the integration has access to. Adding a column to a data source fires this trigger once per existing row. Customers can branch on `data.updated_properties` (array of property IDs) to filter downstream.

Action

Create a label

Creates a new label in linear for a specified team, used to categorize and organize issues.

Why this helps

You tag tasks in Notion to organize them (e.g., 'feature', 'bug', 'documentation'), but Linear uses different labels. Your categorization scheme doesn't transfer. Team can't find issues by the same taxonomy.

  • Single taxonomy: Notion tags map to Linear labels automatically
  • Searchability: filter Linear issues by the same tags you use in Notion
  • No manual label creation: Notis creates missing labels automatically
  • Organization consistency: same classification across both tools

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Linear to Notis.
  • 2Create the automation: 'When I add a tag to a Notion page, create a Linear label with that name (if it doesn't exist) and apply it to the matching issue.'
  • 3Notis will ask which Notion property holds your tags (e.g., a 'Tags' select field).
  • 4Optionally map Notion tags to different Linear labels if your naming differs.
  • 5Test by adding a tag to a Notion page and verifying the Linear issue gets the label.

Questions about this workflow

What if the label already exists in Linear? Will the automation reuse it?

Yes. Notis checks for existing labels and applies them. It only creates new labels if they don't exist.

Can I map Notion tag names to different Linear label names?

Yes. For example, map Notion's 'feat' tag to Linear's 'Feature Request' label. Tell Notis your mapping during setup.

What if a tag is removed from a Notion page? Will the label be removed from Linear?

By default, removing a Notion tag doesn't remove the Linear label. You can configure Notis to remove it if you prefer.

Can I apply multiple labels at once?

Yes. If a Notion page has multiple tags, all corresponding labels are applied to the Linear issue.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Linear. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Linear actions

All Page Events

Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.

TriggerPolling

Create linear attachment

Creates a new attachment and associates it with a specific, existing linear issue.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerInstant

Create a comment

Creates a new comment on a specified linear issue.

ActionInstant

New Comment

Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerInstant

Get create issue default params

Fetches a linear team's default issue estimate and state, useful for pre-filling new issue forms.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerInstant

Create a label

Creates a new label in linear for a specified team, used to categorize and organize issues.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerInstant

Delete issue

Archives an existing linear issue by its id, which is linear's standard way of deleting issues; the operation is idempotent.

ActionInstant

New Page

Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.

TriggerPolling

Get all teams

Retrieves all teams from the linear workspace without requiring any parameters.

ActionInstant

Page Added to Page

Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.

TriggerPolling

Download issue attachments

Downloads a specific attachment from a linear issue; the `file name` must include the correct file extension.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Not just Notion and Linear. Any combination from 985+ integrations.
