Custom Webhook Integration for Complex Salesforce Syncing
Not every Salesforce workflow fits a standard trigger. Use webhooks to sync complex custom data, like rolling up campaign results or bulk-updating issues based on multi-field rules.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Run Query or Mutation
Wildcard action that executes any graphql query or mutation against the linear api. use this as a fallback when no specific action exists for your use case, or when you need to perform complex operations not covered by other linear actions. supports full graphql capabilities including custom queries, mutations, and advanced filtering.
Why this helps
Your Salesforce workflow is custom and specific to your business, but standard integrations don't handle it. You end up doing manual Linear updates whenever complex Salesforce data changes.
- Sync custom Salesforce data without waiting for pre-built triggers
- Handle multi-step business logic that standard triggers can't express
- Bulk-update Linear issues with complex conditions and calculations
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Salesforce and Linear to Notis.
- 2Ask Notis: 'I need a webhook for custom Salesforce-to-Linear syncing. Show me the URL and how to pass data.'
- 3Set up a webhook in your Salesforce (or external tool) that calls Notis with your custom data.
- 4Tell Notis: 'When you receive this webhook, run a GraphQL mutation to update Linear issues based on these rules: [your custom logic].'
- 5Test by sending a sample webhook payload and verifying the Linear updates happen correctly.
Questions about this workflow
Do I need to know GraphQL to use this?
No. You tell Notis what you want in plain language. It handles the GraphQL. E.g., 'Update all issues for accounts in California with new priority.' Notis builds the mutation.
Can I handle multi-record updates in a single webhook?
Yes. Include all the data you need in the webhook payload. Notis loops through and updates all matching Linear issues in parallel.
What if my Salesforce webhook tool doesn't support custom payloads?
Notis can work with standard or custom payloads. Tell it: 'Extract this field from the standard payload' or 'Accept this JSON structure.' It adapts to your tool.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Salesforce to Linear. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
