Qualify Sales Opportunities in Linear

Inbound opportunities scattered in email slow down your sales process. Notis converts them to Linear issues so you and your team can qualify, prioritize, and close together.

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

Potential customers and partners email opportunities, but they sit in your inbox. Your sales process isn't structured, and you miss follow-ups on good leads.

  • Inbound opportunities automatically qualify into Linear pipeline
  • Sales team can prioritize and assign opportunities quickly
  • Reduces time from lead to action
  • Creates structured sales process from email

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Gmail and Linear to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation: 'When an inbound business opportunity email arrives, create a Linear issue in my Sales Pipeline with contact info and opportunity summary.'
  • 3Select 'New Gmail Message Received' as the trigger.
  • 4Filter to emails from prospective customers (domains, email addresses) or marked with [OPPORTUNITY].
  • 5Test by having someone send an opportunity email and verify it creates a Sales issue with contact details.

Questions about this workflow

How do I automatically set deal size or stage?

Your prompt can extract these from the email content. For example, if the email mentions a budget, Notis can set deal size; if it mentions 'exploratory', it starts in 'Qualification' stage.

Can I assign opportunities to specific sales people?

Yes. Notis can assign based on territory, account type, or round-robin, or let you review and manually assign.

What if it's a cold email or not a real opportunity?

Your automation can add a [Cold Lead] label for triage, or apply filters to exclude certain domains or sender patterns.
