Capture completion and lessons learned
When you mark a project as complete in Linear, Notis creates a completion group in Basecamp with a template for lessons learned, retrospective notes, and next steps. You capture knowledge before it disappears.
Trigger
Project Properties Updated
Fires when properties on a Linear project change (status, lead, target date, priority, etc.). Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token.
Action
Create To-Do List Group
Tool to create a new to-do group within a parent to-do list in Basecamp. Use when organizing todos into groups with optional color coding.
Why this helps
Projects finish but knowledge gets lost. You never capture what went well, what went wrong, or lessons learned. Historical context disappears, and you repeat mistakes because you didn't document outcomes. Executive dysfunction makes retrospectives feel like chores.
- Capture lessons while they're fresh, before context disappears
- Build institutional memory of what works and what doesn't
- Support neurodivergent founders by creating structured retrospective templates
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Basecamp to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When a Linear project status changes to complete, create a completion to-do group in Basecamp with sections for retrospective notes, wins, learnings, and next project improvements.'
- 3Select 'Project Properties Updated' as the trigger, filtering for status changes to 'Completed'.
- 4Choose which Basecamp to-do list to add the group to.
- 5Test by marking a Linear project as complete and confirming a completion group appears in Basecamp.
Questions about this workflow
What should go in the completion group?
A template with prompts like 'What went well?', 'What was hard?', 'What would you do differently?', 'What's the next step?'. You customize these questions.
Can I include project metrics or results?
Yes. Tell Notis to extract and include project metrics from Linear (if you track them), like duration, costs, or shipped features.
How long should the retrospective be?
That's up to you. Keep it short (5-10 minutes to fill out) to ensure people actually complete it, rather than creating a lengthy report nobody fills out.
