- Eliminate language-track creation delays
- Translator can start immediately when assigned
- No forgotten language setup
- Keeps Linear and Amara in sync
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Amara to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When I update an issue status to Ready for Translation and mention a language (e.g., Spanish, French), create that subtitle language in Amara for the video referenced in the issue'.
- 3Select trigger: Issue Updated (Linear).
- 4Set your notification channel.
- 5Test by updating a task status to 'Ready for Translation - Spanish' and confirm the Spanish language track appears in Amara.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which video to add the language to?
Reference the video ID or video URL in your Linear issue. Notis will match it to the right Amara video.
What if the language already exists in Amara?
Notis will skip creation and let you know the language already exists, preventing duplicate tracks.
Can I specify ISO 639-1 language codes instead of language names?
Yes. Use codes like 'es', 'fr', 'de' if you prefer, and Notis will create the tracks correctly.
