- Complete customer visibility
- Reduced context-switching
- Captured leads stay captured

- 2In the Notis portal, go to Automations > New Automation and name it 'Auto-create Contacts from Issues'.
- 3Enter the prompt: 'When a new issue is created in Linear, create a contact in Active Campaign with the issue creator's email and name'.
- 4Select the trigger: Issue Created. Pick a Slack or email channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real new issue and verify the contact appears in Active Campaign within seconds.
Questions about this workflow
What email address will Notis use for the new contact?
Notis pulls the email from the issue creator in Linear. If the issue includes a customer email in the title or description, adjust your prompt to use that instead.
Will Notis create duplicate contacts?
No. Active Campaign's built-in deduplication prevents duplicates by email. If the contact already exists, the automation skips creation.
Can I add custom fields to the contact?
Yes. Modify your prompt to include details like 'add tag new-issue' or 'set organization to [company].' Notis interprets plain-language instructions.
