Keep the Linear task current after an HR change
Send a confirmed BambooHR change and issue reference to Notis, then update the existing Linear issue with the status or next step.
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
The team can keep acting on an outdated issue when an HR change has happened but nobody updates the work item.
- Keep the existing issue aligned with the confirmed handoff.
- Preserve the team's current workflow and issue history.
- Make changed next steps visible without starting a duplicate task.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BambooHR and Linear once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to update the specified existing issue using only confirmed employee-change details and the requested status or next step.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real change handoff and confirm only the intended issue attributes changed.
Questions about this workflow
What if the handoff does not include an issue reference?
The update action needs an existing Linear issue id. Include the relevant issue reference in the webhook payload or use an issue-creation workflow.
Can Notis choose a new assignee?
Only when the supplied context clearly identifies a valid Linear user. Otherwise, leave assignment unchanged and note that an owner needs confirmation.
