Log incidents as Linear issues automatically
Alerts fire, the fire gets put out, and the follow-up work evaporates in the alert channel. Notis catches the incident webhook and opens a Linear issue, so the fix and the retro become real, tracked work.
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
The follow-up after an incident is the easiest thing to lose, because the alert scrolls away and no one turns it into tracked work.
- Every incident leaves behind a Linear issue for the real follow-up work.
- Fixes and retros stop evaporating in a noisy alert channel.
- Your monitoring stack feeds Linear without a human in the loop.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Ask Notis for your portal link and create a New Automation, or describe it to Notis in plain language.
- 3State the outcome, for example: When my incident webhook fires, create a Linear issue to track the follow-up.
- 4Choose the incoming webhook as the trigger and point your monitoring tool at the Notis address.
- 5Pick a report channel and test by sending one real alert through the webhook.
Questions about this workflow
Can I set the issue priority high?
Yes. Say so in your instruction, for example ask Notis to create the issue with high priority, and it will.
Which alerting tools work?
Any tool that can send an HTTP webhook can trigger this automation.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Jira to Linear. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Jira triggers
Linear actions
New Issue
Fires when a new issue is created in the Jira project you configure. Only issues created in that project produce an event.
Create linear attachment
Creates a new attachment and associates it with a specific, existing linear issue.
New Project
Triggered when a new project is added in Jira
Create a comment
Creates a new comment on a specified linear issue.
Updated Issue
Fires when an existing issue is changed in the Jira project you configure — for example its status, assignee, or any other field on the issue is updated. Only issues in that project produce an event. It does not fire on comment activity: adding, editing, or deleting a comment on an issue will not produce an event from this trigger.

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.
Get create issue default params
Fetches a linear team's default issue estimate and state, useful for pre-filling new issue forms.
Create a label
Creates a new label in linear for a specified team, used to categorize and organize issues.
Delete issue
Archives an existing linear issue by its id, which is linear's standard way of deleting issues; the operation is idempotent.
