Turn Announcements Into Actionable Tasks
Important announcements happen in Slack, but they require action in Linear. Notis automatically creates issues so your team knows what's coming and what needs attention.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
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
Announcements get posted in Slack but don't become actionable items in Linear, leaving neurodivergent founders managing follow-up work mentally rather than in their task system.
- Automatically surface announcements as actionable tasks in Linear
- Ensure team members know what's being asked of them
- Create a record of decisions and changes in Linear
- Reduce missed follow-up items from announcements
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Linear to Notis.
- 2Ask Notis: 'When important announcements are posted in #announcements, create Linear issues to track the follow-up' or use the portal.
- 3Provide the prompt: 'When an announcement is posted in #announcements channel, create a Linear issue summarizing the announcement and any required actions.'
- 4Choose your announcement channel and Linear team.
- 5Test by posting an announcement and verifying the corresponding issue appears in Linear.
Questions about this workflow
What counts as an announcement?
You define this. Common triggers: messages from specific people, messages in the announcements channel, or messages with specific keywords.
Does this create one issue per announcement or batch them?
One issue per announcement by default, unless you configure batching in your prompt.
Can I assign action items to specific people based on the announcement?
Yes. Include logic in your prompt like 'If the announcement mentions names, assign to those people' or 'Assign to the team lead'.
