Why this helps
Complex research requires both Linear issue tracking and Apify task setup but doing both manually is tedious and they drift out of sync.
- Create once in Linear, task setup happens in Apify automatically
- No manual duplication between systems
- Task and issue tracking stay perfectly in sync
- Reduces setup time for complex research projects

- 4Choose your channel and click Create.

Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know what inputs to use for the actor task?
Include structured data in the issue description like search_term: competitor_name and Notis will parse it into task inputs.
Can I customize the task settings?
Yes, specify in your prompt: Set the task to run daily or Use the budget amount from the issue labels.
What if I want to change the task after creating the issue?
Create another automation that updates the Apify task when the Linear issue is updated.
