Assignments Become Tasks Automatically
Assignments in Linear don't automatically appear in dashboards. This automation creates Appdrag tasks the moment someone is assigned, so work appears where they look for it.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
Execute Cloud Backend function via POST
Tool to execute a Cloud Backend API function via POST on the default environment. Use when you need to call a function with POST parameters and optional APIKey.
Why this helps
Issues assigned in Linear don't automatically appear in team members' work dashboards in Appdrag, causing them to miss assignments or need manual reminders.
- Assignments appear automatically: no manual task creation
- Better visibility: team members see their work instantly
- Reduced missed work: assignments don't get buried
- Less coordination: no need to ask 'did you see this task?'
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Ensure Linear and Appdrag are connected to Notis
- 2Create a new automation with trigger 'Issue Updated'
- 3Use this prompt: 'When a Linear issue is assigned to someone, create a task in my Appdrag task list with the task name, description, assignee, and due date. Only trigger when the assignee field changes.'
- 4Choose your notification channel
- 5Test by assigning an issue to a team member in Linear
Questions about this workflow
What if an issue is reassigned?
You can choose to create a new task, update the existing task, or ignore reassignments. Specify in your prompt which behavior you want.
Will it include unassigned issues?
No. The automation only creates tasks when an issue is assigned to someone. Unassigned issues won't create tasks.
