Give every donor request that needs a response a next step
Turn a submitted request into a clear task with enough context for someone to follow through.
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
Requests can get buried in supporter records when nobody owns the response task.
- Make response work visible in Linear.
- Preserve the request context for the assignee.
- Avoid manually creating a task for each submitted request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Blackbaud and Linear once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Donor Request Response Tasks.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review submitted supporter requests and create a Linear issue when a response or action is needed.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and confirm the issue contains the needed context.
Questions about this workflow
Can it handle requests that do not need a response?
Yes. Instruct Notis to create an issue only when the request requires a response or action.
Can the issue contain the full request?
Ask for a concise summary and include only details needed to act on it.
