Start New Issues With Correct Defaults
An email creates a new Linear issue. Instead of manually setting state to 'To Do' and estimate to '3 points' every time, Notis applies your team defaults automatically so the issue is ready immediately.
Trigger
New Email Received
Trigger for new emails in an AgentMail inbox
Action
Get create issue default params
Fetches a linear team's default issue estimate and state, useful for pre-filling new issue forms.
Why this helps
New issues land in Linear with incomplete setup. You have to manually add state, estimate, and other team defaults. This creates inconsistency and slows down sprint planning.
- Issues created from emails automatically get your team's default state and estimate
- Eliminates manual setup for every new issue, saving time during backlog processing
- Ensures consistency across all issues (no one forgets to set defaults differently)
- Issues are immediately ready for sprint planning without tweaking
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agent mail and Linear integrations to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When creating a Linear issue from email, use my team's default state and estimate.'
- 3Notis automatically fetches your team's defaults from Linear (this is a one-time lookup).
- 4Create an issue from an email and verify it has the correct default state and estimate.
- 5Activate the automation for all incoming work.
Questions about this workflow
What if my team doesn't have defaults set up yet?
Set team defaults in Linear first, then activate this automation. Notis reads your Linear settings automatically.
Can I override defaults for certain types of issues?
Yes. Tell Notis: 'Use team defaults for customer issues, but set bugs to estimate 5 points' and it will apply custom rules per type.
What if defaults change later?
Notis always pulls the latest defaults from Linear, so future issues will reflect any changes your team makes.
