Automatically update Linear issues from external webhooks
Stay in sync without manual updates. When external tools notify you of changes, Notis automatically updates the corresponding Linear issue so your project stays current.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Update issue
Updates an existing linear issue using its `issue id`; requires at least one other attribute for modification, and all provided entity ids (for state, assignee, labels, etc.) must be valid.
Why this helps
Critical updates come from external systems but require manual updates in Linear. Team members miss changes, work gets duplicated, and status diverges between systems.
- Automatically sync external changes into Linear
- Eliminate manual data entry and transcription
- Keep your project status always current
- Reduce manual updates and human error
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear to Notis.
- 2Create an automation called 'Webhook Updates Issue'.
- 3Write your prompt: 'When a webhook arrives with a status update, automatically update the related Linear issue with the new status.'
- 4Select 'Notis Webhook' as the trigger and copy the generated webhook URL.
- 5Test by sending a webhook and verifying the Linear issue updates with the correct data.
Questions about this workflow
Which fields can be updated?
Notis can update status, priority, assignee, description, and more. Your prompt describes the changes: 'mark as completed,' 'add a comment,' 'change priority to urgent.'
What if the update conflicts with local changes?
Notis is smart about conflicts. It respects your local changes by default but you can configure it to override: 'always accept external updates' if you prefer.
Can I update multiple issues from one webhook?
Yes. If your webhook contains multiple issue references, Notis can update all of them. Specify in your prompt how to handle batch updates.
