Keep Confluence action items moving in Linear
A task written in Confluence can become a ready-to-triage Linear issue, with the source context carried along.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task (action item) is created in Confluence.
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
Action items tucked into documentation are easy to forget when the team does its real tracking elsewhere.
- Reduce retyping between documentation and issue tracking.
- Give each task a clearer next step in the team's delivery system.
- Keep the relevant Confluence context close to the work.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Confluence and Linear to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or tell Notis in plain language what outcome you want.
- 3Use one instruction asking Notis to create a Linear issue for each new Confluence task and include its useful context.
- 4Select the New Task Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real Confluence task and check the resulting Linear issue.
