Manage Project Proposals in Linear
Project proposals shouldn't live in email threads. Notis converts them to Linear issues so you and your team can evaluate, discuss, and decide 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
Project proposals arrive via email but you lose track of them. You're not sure which proposals are under review, approved, or rejected.
- Centralizes all proposals in Linear for team review
- Clear decision records for each proposal
- Reduces time spent hunting for proposal details
- Team input on proposals is visible and organized
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Linear to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a project proposal email arrives, create a Linear issue in my Proposals project with proposal summary and requester info.'
- 3Select 'New Gmail Message Received' as the trigger.
- 4Filter to emails containing 'proposal', 'project request', or marked [PROPOSAL].
- 5Test by sending a proposal email and verify it creates a Linear issue ready for team discussion.
Questions about this workflow
Can I automatically evaluate or score proposals?
Your automation can add preliminary fields (effort estimate, timeline, fit score) based on proposal keywords. Team then refines the evaluation in Linear comments.
How do we decide on proposals?
Your team comments on the Linear issue, and Notis can compile a summary periodically. The issue becomes the decision record.
What if a proposal needs more info?
Comment on the Linear issue and Notis can email the requester for clarification, keeping the conversation in Linear.
