Mirror Time Estimates to Linear
Set a time estimate in Clickup and the Linear issue reflects it instantly. Your team plans work with accurate effort info.
Trigger
Task Time Estimate Updated
Triggers when a task's time estimate is set, changed, or cleared. `changes[]` carries `TimeEstimateChange` entries only; `before` and `after` are millisecond strings or `null`.
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
Time estimates are set in Clickup but engineers track estimates in Linear separately, leading to planning misalignment and capacity miscalculation.
- Accurate capacity planning across your entire workflow
- Engineers see consistent effort estimates without guessing
- Reduce planning meetings by automating estimate sync
- Better sprint planning with single source of estimate truth
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Clickup and Linear to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a time estimate is set or changed in Clickup, update the Linear issue estimate to match.'
- 3Select 'Clickup - Task Time Estimate Updated' as the trigger.
- 4Set your notification channel.
- 5Test by setting a time estimate in Clickup and verify it syncs to Linear.
Questions about this workflow
What if the estimate format differs between tools?
Notis intelligently converts between formats (e.g., Clickup hours → Linear story points or vice versa). Customize the conversion in your automation if needed.
Can I clear an estimate in Clickup and have Linear auto-clear too?
Yes, when the Clickup estimate is removed, Notis removes the Linear estimate as well.
Does this work for sub-tasks or only top-level tasks?
You can customize your automation to sync estimates for top-level tasks, subtasks, or both.
