Contract Review Workflow in Linear
Contract reviews shouldn't be managed in email. Notis converts contract emails into Linear issues so your team can review, comment, and track legal items in one place.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
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
Contracts and legal docs come via email, but tracking reviews is a mess. You're not sure if a contract is reviewed, who's responsible for follow-up, or when deadlines are.
- Centralizes legal reviews in Linear
- Reduces time tracking contract status
- Clear accountability for legal review
- Creates audit trail for compliance
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Linear to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a contract or legal document email arrives, create a Linear issue in my Legal Review project with document name and deadline.'
- 3Select 'New Gmail Message Received' as the trigger.
- 4Filter to emails from lawyers, vendors, or partners marked [CONTRACT] or [LEGAL].
- 5Test by sending a contract email and verify it creates a Linear issue with the document attached or referenced.
Questions about this workflow
Can I extract deadlines from the email automatically?
Yes. Notis looks for date mentions like 'sign by Friday' or 'review within 2 weeks' and sets the Linear due date.
How do I track reviewer comments?
Your team comments on the Linear issue, and Notis keeps all review history in one place instead of scattered in email threads.
Can I add the contract document to Linear?
Yes. Attachments from the email are automatically added to the Linear issue so everyone has the document without searching email.
