Create Event Types Before You Build
Your instrumentation plan grows with your work. Create event types automatically as issues are created.
Trigger
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Action
Create Amplitude Event Type
Create a new event type in amplitude. this action allows you to: - define a new event type with various properties - associate the event with a category - add metadata like description, tags, and owner key features: - creates trackable events in your amplitude project - supports full event type configuration
Why this helps
Manually creating event types after starting feature work delays analytics setup and causes early user data to go untracked.
- Event types ready before coding starts
- No setup friction or delays
- Consistent instrumentation across all features
- Early data capture from day one
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Ensure Linear and Amplitude integrations are connected in Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a new issue is created, automatically create a matching event type in Amplitude.'
- 3Select 'Issue Created' as your trigger.
- 4Choose Slack or email for notifications about created event types.
- 5Test with a new issue and check Amplitude to confirm the event type appears instantly.
Questions about this workflow
What happens if an event type with that name already exists?
Notis will skip creation or link to the existing type, depending on how you configure the automation. You can specify this behavior in your instruction.
Can I control what category the event type gets created in?
Yes. Your automation instruction can specify the category, or you can route all auto-created events to a default category. Notis interprets your instruction.
How long does it take from issue creation to event type creation?
Typically under 30 seconds. The automation runs immediately when a new issue is detected.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Linear to Amplitude. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Linear triggers
Amplitude actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Check Amplitude Cohort Status
Check the status of a cohort export request. this action allows you to: - poll the status of an in-progress cohort download request - determine if a cohort is ready for download
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Amplitude Event Category
Create a new event category in amplitude. this action allows you to: - create a new event category to organize event types - validate category name before creation key features: - creates event categories for organizing events - returns success/failure status
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
Create Amplitude Event Type
Create a new event type in amplitude. this action allows you to: - define a new event type with various properties - associate the event with a category - add metadata like description, tags, and owner key features: - creates trackable events in your amplitude project - supports full event type configuration
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Delete Amplitude Event Category
Delete an event category from amplitude. this action allows you to: - delete an existing event category - remove category organization from events key features: - permanently removes event categories - returns success/failure status
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Delete Amplitude Event Type
Delete an event type from amplitude. this action allows you to: - remove an event type from your project - mark live events as deleted - remove planned events from the tracking plan key features: - different behavior based on event status (live, planned, etc.) - returns success/failure status
Private Team Comment Created
Fires when a new comment is posted on an issue in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Request Amplitude Cohort
Get a single cohort by id and initiate download. this action allows you to: - request a specific cohort from amplitude - optionally include user properties in the response - start the asynchronous download process key features: - supports filtering by specific user properties - returns a request id used for polling status and downloading - supports eu data residency
Private Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue appears in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Get Amplitude Event Categories
Get event categories from amplitude. this action allows you to: - get all event categories in your project - get a specific category by name
Private Team Issue Properties Updated
Fires when properties on an issue change in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Get Amplitude Event Type
Get a specific event type from amplitude by name. this action allows you to: - retrieve detailed information about a single event type - get all properties and metadata for the event key features: - retrieves comprehensive event type details - returns metadata like category, description, and settings - supports lookup by exact event name
