Capture ideas automatically before they disappear
When you create a Linear issue labeled 'backlog', Notis instantly creates a Basecamp card in your backlog column. Ideas get captured and organized without any extra work.
Trigger
Public Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue is created in a Linear *public* team. For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_ISSUE_CREATED`.
Action
Create Card in Column
Tool to create a new card in a column of a Basecamp card table. Use when you need to add a card to a card table column with optional content and due date.
Why this helps
Great ideas get lost because they live in Linear backlog but your team operates from Basecamp. Backlog items languish unseen, priorities go unreviewed, and valuable work never gets prioritized.
- Every backlog idea is visible in Basecamp where your team sees it
- Reduce ideas falling through cracks
- Support brainstorming by capturing ideas automatically
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Basecamp to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When a new issue is created in Linear with the backlog label, create a card in my Basecamp backlog column.'
- 3Select 'Public Team Issue Created' as the trigger, filtering for the 'backlog' label.
- 4Choose your Basecamp backlog column.
- 5Test by creating a Linear issue with the 'backlog' label and confirming a card appears in Basecamp.
Questions about this workflow
How do I label an issue as backlog in Linear?
When creating or editing a Linear issue, add the 'backlog' label (or whichever label you've chosen). Notis watches for that label and creates a Basecamp card.
Can I move items from backlog to priority later?
Yes. The Basecamp card is created once. You can manually move it to another column or change its status to promote it when it's ready.
What if someone changes the label from backlog to something else?
The automation watches for the initial label on creation. If you remove the backlog label later, the Basecamp card remains unchanged.
