Action
Create linear issue

Why this helps
Course requests can get buried in messages or require a second pass to turn into trackable work.
- Capture course requests as trackable work.
- Summarize the request into a clear issue description.
- Reduce manual copying between Blackboard and Linear.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Blackboard and Linear once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: create a Linear issue from each incoming Blackboard request, preserving the course context and requested outcome.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Blackboard request.
Questions about this workflow
Does Blackboard provide a built-in trigger for this workflow?
No. Blackboard has no listed trigger events, so this workflow starts with a Notis webhook. Send the request context to that webhook.
Can Notis choose the right Linear project or team automatically?
The create issue action requires a project and team. Tell Notis which existing project and team to use, or supply them in the request context.
