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
Backlink research often creates a scattered list of prospects with no clear owner or next step in the team's workflow.
- Turn selected backlink prospects into trackable work.
- Include the reason each prospect is relevant and a follow-up suggestion.
- Keep recurring prospect research from disappearing into notes.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ahrefs and Linear to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Ask Notis to review Ahrefs backlink opportunities and create Linear issues for prospects that meet your stated relevance criteria, including evidence and a follow-up suggestion.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real prospect and review the issue details in Linear.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis decide which backlink prospects are relevant?
It can assess the Ahrefs data returned against criteria you state, such as topic or business relevance. Provide any additional context needed to judge fit.
Will it contact the prospects?
No. This workflow creates Linear issues for follow-up; outreach must be handled separately.
