Convert External Feedback into Linear Issues via Webhook
When external feedback arrives via email, webhook, or third-party survey, Notis creates a Linear issue so nothing falls through the cracks.
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
Feedback comes from multiple sources (email, surveys, direct messages) and gets lost in your inbox. Important bugs and feature requests never make it to your project tracker.
- All feedback in one Linear queue
- No manual copy-paste from email to issues
- Track feedback with labels, priority, and metadata
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Linear to Notis in your portal integrations.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When you receive a webhook with feedback, create a Linear issue with the feedback text, sender info, and timestamp. Mark as needs-review.' (Or create in portal Automations.)
- 3Select Notis Webhook as the trigger and pick your notification channel.
- 4Notis will generate a unique webhook URL. Share this URL with your feedback sources (Typeform, email form, etc.).
- 5Test by sending a sample webhook payload (Notis can show you the format) and verifying the Linear issue appears.
Questions about this workflow
What data can the webhook include?
Feedback text, sender name/email, priority, category, attachment links—whatever your external tool sends. Notis will extract and format it into the Linear issue.
Can I filter which webhooks create issues?
Yes. Your prompt can say 'only create issues for feedback tagged with priority:high' or 'only for bug reports, not feature requests.'
Is the webhook URL private?
Yes, Notis generates a unique URL for your automation. Only tools with that URL can trigger it, so it's secure.
