Create Linear issues from webhook data
You use Typeform for customer feedback, or a custom tool for internal requests, or a third-party app sends you structured data. Instead of manually creating issues, use Notis webhooks: send the data to Notis, and it creates Linear issues with all fields populated, saving you hours of manual work.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
Tools you use don't integrate directly with Linear. You copy data manually or write custom scripts. Errors and context loss happen constantly.
- No coding required to connect tools
- Issues created automatically from external data
- Fields populated with full context
- Reliable, scalable automation
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear to Notis
- 2Ask Notis: 'Generate a unique webhook URL and create an automation that turns webhook data into Linear issues'
- 3Notis provides the URL; set it up in your external tool's webhook settings
- 4Configure how data maps to issue fields (your Notis automation handles this via plain language)
- 5Send a test submission and verify the Linear issue appears with all data
Questions about this workflow
What data formats do webhooks support?
JSON, form-encoded data, and most standard webhook formats. You describe what fields to expect and Notis maps them to Linear issue properties.
Can I transform or filter webhook data?
Yes. For example: 'Only create issues if priority is High, and set Linear priority accordingly. Ignore submissions from automated senders.'
How secure are webhook URLs?
Notis URLs are unique and unpredictable. You can add API tokens or IP allowlisting for additional security. HTTPS is standard.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Whatsapp to Linear. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Whatsapp triggers
Linear actions
Message Status Updated
Triggers when a WhatsApp message status changes. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: WhatsApp Cloud API does not provide a native polling endpoint for message status. Status updates are ONLY delivered via webhooks in real-time. This trigger cannot directly poll the WhatsApp API for status updates. This trigger will return empty results as WhatsApp does not support this operation. To track message status updates, you must: 1. Set up a webhook endpoint to receive status notifications from WhatsApp 2. Store the webhook data in your own database 3. Use a different mechanism to query your stored webhook data For more information, see: - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/webhooks
