Keep a Linear issue current with an Apollo pipeline signal
When a supplied Apollo pipeline update matters to active work, keep the related Linear issue in sync.
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
Pipeline changes can affect planned work, but the people tracking that work may never see the update.
- Bring relevant pipeline changes into active work.
- Add concise context to the Linear issue.
- Reduce manual status chasing across tools.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Apollo and Linear once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from any channel, or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: evaluate the supplied Apollo pipeline signal and update the identified Linear issue only when the change warrants an edit.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real pipeline signal and its related issue.
Questions about this workflow
Will it change the Linear issue state automatically?
The instruction can request a specific update, but should only name a state when you have supplied a valid Linear state and the signal justifies that change.
Does Apollo provide a trigger for pipeline changes here?
No Apollo trigger events are listed. This workflow starts from a Notis webhook request containing the signal context.
