Turn texted work requests into Linear issues
Capture a request by text and give it a home in Linear before it slips out of mind.
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
Action items sent by text can get buried among personal messages and never make it into the team backlog.
- Capture requests without switching apps to write an issue from scratch.
- Keep the original message available as issue context.
- Create a trackable backlog item from a texted request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Android Texter and Linear once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in plain language or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to turn each received work request into a Linear issue and preserve its message context.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real work request sent by SMS.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this automation?
An HTTP request to the Notis webhook starts it. Use an incoming Android Texter message as the request source.
Does Notis decide the issue title?
You can ask Notis in the instruction to summarize the message into a concise title and include the original text in the description.
Can it determine the correct Linear team or project automatically?
Tell Notis the destination in your instruction. If the message does not provide enough context to decide, supply a default or ask for clarification.
