Bulk Migration to Linear
Migrating data from another tool or need to bulk-create issues from a spreadsheet? Send the data via webhook and Notis handles the bulk import to Linear.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Run Query or Mutation
Wildcard action that executes any graphql query or mutation against the linear api. use this as a fallback when no specific action exists for your use case, or when you need to perform complex operations not covered by other linear actions. supports full graphql capabilities including custom queries, mutations, and advanced filtering.
Why this helps
Migrating or syncing large datasets to Linear requires manual export/import or custom scripts; bulk operations are tedious.
- Migrate data from other tools without manual work
- Bulk-create issues from spreadsheets or exports
- Sync large datasets on a schedule or on demand
- No custom code needed for bulk operations
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notis to your Linear account.
- 2Create a webhook automation: 'When an external tool sends a webhook with a list of issues, bulk-create them in Linear.'
- 3Format your data as JSON (Notis will guide you on structure) and send it to the webhook URL.
- 4Notis processes the batch and creates or updates issues in parallel, reporting progress.
Questions about this workflow
How many issues can I bulk-import at once?
Notis handles hundreds or thousands of issues. For very large imports, we recommend batching into groups of 100-500.
Can I update existing issues instead of creating new ones?
Yes, include a mapping field (like issue ID or external ID) and Notis will update existing issues instead of creating duplicates.
What if some rows fail?
Notis provides detailed results showing successes and failures, so you can retry just the problematic rows.
