Sync New Notion Tasks to Linear Issues

Every Notion task you create appears in Linear instantly, without manual handoff. Stop re-entering work, start shipping faster.

Trigger

Page Created

Triggers when a new Notion page is created. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: new row in this data source - parent_page_id: new sub-page under this page (immediate parent only) With neither set, fires for any new page in the workspace the integration has access to. Notion sends ~60s aggregation latency on most events.

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

Neurodivergent founders often document tasks in Notion but forget to mirror them in Linear, creating duplicate work and dropped context. Manually copying between tools kills momentum.

  • Single source of truth: create once in Notion, instantly appears in Linear
  • Zero context-switching: Notis handles the sync, you stay in your primary tool
  • Fewer dropped tasks: automation ensures all work reaches Linear
  • Works with your process: no field mapping or configuration needed

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect your Notion workspace and Linear account to Notis (one-time setup in the portal).
  • 2Create the automation by asking Notis: 'Create a new Linear issue whenever I add a task to Notion.'
  • 3Notis will ask which Notion database to monitor and which Linear project to post to.
  • 4Choose Slack, email, or Telegram as your notification channel for workflow runs.
  • 5Test by creating a new task in your Notion workspace and verify it appears in Linear within 60 seconds.

Questions about this workflow

Will my existing Notion tasks be synced to Linear?

No, this automation only syncs tasks created after you activate it. If you need to import past tasks, ask Notis for a one-time sync and mention those tasks.

Can I choose which Notion tasks sync to Linear?

Yes. You can scope the automation to a specific Notion database or add filters by properties (like 'Only sync tasks marked urgent').

What details get synced from Notion to Linear?

Notis pulls the page title and description. For properties like priority or assignee, you can add those to your automation prompt (e.g., 'Create a high-priority issue if the task is marked urgent').

How quickly does the sync happen?

Notion events typically reach Notis within 60 seconds. Linear issues are created immediately after.

Supported Triggers and Actions

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

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.

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.
