Give every assignee a clear starting point
When a team member is assigned a Linear issue, Notis creates a set of subtasks in Basecamp - context review, getting unblocked, checking dependencies. New assignees have a structured path instead of starting confused.
Trigger
Public Team Issue Properties Updated
Fires when properties on a *public-team* Linear issue change (status, assignee, priority, labels, etc.). For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_ISSUE_PROPERTIES_UPDATED`.
Action
Create Step in Card
Tool to create a step within a card in a Basecamp card table. Use when you need to add a subtask or checklist item to an existing card with optional due date and assignees.
Why this helps
New assignees on a task don't know where to start. Context is scattered, they miss critical dependencies, and they need to ask multiple questions to understand what's happening. This delays work and creates frustration.
- New assignees have a clear, structured entry point with no guesswork
- Reduce back-and-forth questions by providing context upfront
- Support neurodivergent team members who benefit from explicit next steps
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Basecamp to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When someone is assigned a Linear issue, create subtasks in Basecamp asking them to review context, check dependencies, and identify blockers.'
- 3Select 'Issue Updated' as the trigger, filtering for assignee changes.
- 4Specify the Basecamp column where subtasks should appear.
- 5Test by assigning a Linear issue to a team member and confirming subtasks appear in Basecamp.
Questions about this workflow
Can I customize the subtasks based on issue type or label?
Yes. Create multiple automations, each with different subtask templates for different types of work (e.g., design tasks, engineering tasks, research tasks).
What if the same person is assigned multiple times?
By default, subtasks are created each time an assignment changes. You can refine the automation to only trigger on initial assignment if you want to avoid duplicates.
Can I mention the assignee in the subtasks?
Yes. Notis can include the assignee's name and optionally tag them in the subtask, so they're alerted immediately.
