Move actionable Gmail messages into Linear
Let Notis spot a message that needs work and give it a home in Linear.
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
An inbox mixes urgent customer requests with everything else, making it easy to lose a commitment while switching contexts.
- Capture actionable requests while they are still fresh.
- Keep the original message context with the work item.
- Spend less time rereading email to remember what needs follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Super and Linear to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally to turn qualifying new Gmail messages into Linear issues.
- 3Choose the New Gmail Message Received trigger and select where Notis should report runs.
- 4Test with one real message that clearly contains a request.

Can every incoming email become an issue?
Describe in the plain-language instruction which messages count as actionable, so routine mail does not create unnecessary work.
