Keep Linear issues aligned with Basecamp scope changes
When project scope changes, update the affected issue details so the team can work from current expectations.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
A project plan can change while the corresponding Linear issue still describes the old work.
- Keep existing issue descriptions aligned with the supplied project context.
- Reduce manual reconciliation during project reviews.
- Make changed expectations easier for teammates to spot.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Basecamp and Linear once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
- 3Describe how to match a supplied scope change to an existing issue and what to update in one instruction.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and a report channel, then test with one real scope change.
Questions about this workflow
What does the update action require?
It needs the id of an existing Linear issue and at least one attribute to change. The automation needs enough supplied context to identify both.
Can it decide which scope changes matter?
Your instruction should state what counts as a meaningful change. Notis cannot infer an unstated project baseline.
