Generate Monthly Retrospective Issues Automatically
Reflection drives improvement. Every month on the first Monday, Notis creates a Linear issue with your retro template so the team can share what went well, what didn't, and what to change.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Retrospectives are important but planning them is another task that gets skipped. Your team never stops to reflect, so patterns don't get fixed and wins don't get celebrated.
- Regular reflection loops improve team performance over time
- No admin effort required to schedule retros
- Consistent process means team knows how to participate
- Full history of team learning and improvements tracked in Linear
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'Create a retrospective issue every month with space for my team to share what went well, what didn't, and what to change.'
- 3Provide your retro template or let Notis suggest one.
- 4Confirm which Linear team should receive retros and what day/time to create them.
- 5Verify the first retro issue appears at the scheduled time.
Questions about this workflow
Can I customize the retro questions?
Yes. Share your specific questions and Notis will include them in the issue template.
Should retros be public or private to the team?
Linear project settings control this. You can make retros visible to the whole team or just your core group.
How do I act on retro insights?
After the retro, create follow-up issues for improvements. This can be manual or you can ask Notis to generate them.
