Carry task progress into Linear
When progress recorded in Google Tasks changes the state of related work, Notis can update the Linear issue so the two views stay aligned.
Trigger
Task Details Changed
Triggers when a specific task's details change. This trigger monitors a single Google Task and fires when any of its details (title, notes, status, due date, completion, position) are modified.
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
Progress in a personal list can be invisible to teammates relying on Linear for status.
- Make meaningful progress visible in the shared tracker.
- Reduce manual status updates across tools.
- Keep issue details closer to the latest task context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Tasks and Linear to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction how to find the related issue and which task changes should update it.
- 4Select the Task Details Changed trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real progress change and a related issue.
Questions about this workflow
Can a task change update issue status?
The update action can modify an issue. Describe the intended update clearly and ensure the workflow can identify the issue and valid state.
Should every detail change update the issue?
Usually only changes that convey meaningful progress are useful. Specify those changes in the instruction.
