Project Webhook Automation for Research Notifications
New projects automatically get notification webhooks configured so milestones flow back to Linear without manual setup.
Trigger
Project Created
Fires when a new Linear project is created. Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token, so visibility matches what the connected user can see in Linear.
Action
Create Task Webhook
Tool to create a webhook for an actor task. use when you need external notifications about task run events (e.g., completion or failure) in downstream systems.
Why this helps
New research projects need webhook setup for notifications but setting it up manually is a forgotten step that breaks notification flow.
- Webhooks are configured automatically when projects launch
- No forgotten notification setup steps
- Research milestones flow back to Linear instantly
- Team stays informed without manual status updates

- 2Go to Automations > New Automation and write: When a project is created, set up an Apify webhook that sends task completion notifications back to this Linear project.
- 3Select Project Created as the trigger.
- 4Choose your channel and click Create.
- 5Create a test project and verify the webhook is created in Apify.
Questions about this workflow
Where will webhook notifications appear in Linear?
Notis will post them as project updates or comments, depending on how you configure it in the automation prompt.
Can I customize which events trigger notifications?
Yes, specify in your prompt: Only notify on task completion or failures, not on every status change.
What if I don't want all projects to have webhooks?
Refine the trigger in your prompt: When a project is created with the research label, set up webhooks.
