Create Linear Issues From Any External Source via Webhook
Not everything worth tracking comes from Google Sheets. Notis accepts webhooks from any external tool, application, or custom system. Send data to Notis and have it create Linear issues instantly.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
Without a webhook option, you're limited to integrations. Many critical data sources don't integrate with Google Sheets, forcing manual issue creation.
- Create Linear issues from any tool or system by sending webhook data to Notis
- Enable intake from sources that don't integrate with Google Sheets
- Build flexible automation for diverse data sources without code
- Maintain a single Linear workflow for issues coming from multiple sources
- Reduce friction by accepting data in multiple formats and channels
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1In the Notis portal, create an automation with the prompt: 'When a webhook request arrives with data [describe the data structure], create a Linear issue with [describe how to map the data to the issue].'
- 2Select 'Notis Webhook' as your trigger.
- 3Notis will generate a unique webhook URL for this automation.
- 4Configure your external tool or script to send data to that webhook URL when events occur.
- 5Test by sending a webhook request (via curl or Postman) and confirming the Linear issue appears.
Questions about this workflow
How do I construct the webhook data?
Send JSON data to your webhook URL. Describe the structure in your automation prompt, e.g., 'Send {title, description, priority}' and Notis will map it to the Linear issue fields.
Can I authenticate my webhook calls?
Yes. Notis provides authentication options. Specify in your prompt or configure in the automation settings.
What if my external tool doesn't support webhooks?
You can write a small script that polls your tool and sends webhook data to Notis. Describe your scenario and Notis can help you build this.

Get create issue default params
Fetches a linear team's default issue estimate and state, useful for pre-filling new issue forms.
Conditional Format Rule Changed
Triggers when conditional formatting rules change in a Google Spreadsheet. Detects when rules are added, updated, or removed. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
Create a label
Creates a new label in linear for a specified team, used to categorize and organize issues.
Data Validation Rule Changed
Triggers when data validation rules change (added/updated/removed) in a Google Spreadsheet. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
Delete issue
Archives an existing linear issue by its id, which is linear's standard way of deleting issues; the operation is idempotent.
Developer Metadata Changed
Triggers when developer metadata entries change (new/updated/removed) in a Google Spreadsheet. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
Get all teams
Retrieves all teams from the linear workspace without requiring any parameters.
Filtered Range Values Changed
Polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets filtered ranges for value changes. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect when values matching a data filter change. Emits the matched values when changes are detected.
Download issue attachments
Downloads a specific attachment from a linear issue; the `file name` must include the correct file extension.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
