Keep Linear issues current with approved documents
Carry confirmed changes from an approved document into the issue that tracks the work.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Update issue
Updates an existing linear issue using its `issue id`; requires at least one other attribute for modification, and all provided entity ids (for state, assignee, labels, etc.) must be valid.
Why this helps
When a document changes, teams can keep acting on issue details that are no longer current.
- Reflect confirmed changes in the existing issue.
- Focus the update on commitments and dates that matter.
- Avoid retyping document changes into project tracking.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and Linear once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Ask Notis to compare the approved document sent by webhook with its specified existing Linear issue and update only changed commitments or dates supported by the document.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one approved document and inspect the issue changes.
Questions about this workflow
Does this compare document versions automatically?
Only if the webhook provides the relevant versions or the instruction identifies an accessible baseline. Otherwise, Notis can update from supplied changes but cannot invent a comparison.
Can the update change any issue field?
The update action needs an issue id and at least one valid attribute. Instruct Notis to update only supported fields and avoid changing unrelated details.
