Sync Time Tracking to Linear Comments
Log time in Clickup and the Linear issue gets an automatic update. Your team sees exact time invested without checking another tool.
Trigger
Task Time Tracked Updated
Triggers when a time-tracking interval is created, edited, or deleted on a task. Fires once per interval-change. Reads ClickUp's top-level `data.description` for the lifecycle action and `data.interval_id` for the correlation key — these are unique to time-tracking events and are present even on Deleted (where `history_items` is empty).
Action
Create a comment
Creates a new comment on a specified linear issue.
Why this helps
Time is logged in Clickup but not visible in Linear, requiring manual time updates in Linear and creating duplicate tracking overhead.
- Complete work history visible in Linear without manual updates
- Track effort and iteration counts without switching tools
- Reduce time spent in separate time tracking steps
- Accurate effort data for retrospectives and planning
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Clickup and Linear to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When time is logged on a Clickup task, post an automatic comment to the Linear issue noting the time and summary.'
- 3Use 'Clickup - Task Time Tracked Updated' as the trigger.
- 4Customize the note format (e.g., '2 hours logged on [date]').
- 5Test by logging time in Clickup and verify the comment appears in Linear.
Questions about this workflow
Can I aggregate daily time into a single comment?
Yes, customize your automation to batch time entries by day or use Notis' native time aggregation.
What if time is edited or deleted in Clickup?
Notis can sync edits as updates to the Linear comment, and deletions as removal notes (customize your preference).
Can I use this for billing or invoicing?
Yes, time logs appear in Linear for your records. Use the Linear issue history as an audit trail for billing purposes.
