Auto-Adjust Prospect Searches When Projects Pivot
Projects change direction, but your prospect research often doesn't. This automation launches new searches the moment your project focus shifts.
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 Lead Finder Search
Tool to create a new Lead Finder search to discover leads based on company and people criteria. Use when you need to find prospects matching specific job titles, departments, seniority, company size, industry, or technology stack.
Why this helps
You pivot a project's target customer but forget to update your prospect searches, so your list remains misaligned with new strategy.
- Prospect lists auto-realign when project focus shifts
- No stale prospect research causing wasted outreach
- Multiple searches auto-launch for multi-target projects
- Strategy and sourcing stay synchronized
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Bettercontact to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a project's properties (like target customer or timeline) are updated, launch a new lead-finder search matching the updated criteria.' Use the portal.
- 3Select Project Properties Updated as the trigger.
- 4Configure Notis to extract new criteria from the project description or properties.
- 5Test by updating a project's description or target and verifying a fresh search launches.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know what new criteria to use when a project changes?
You can include new criteria in the project description update (e.g., 'Now targeting mid-market'), and Notis parses that for the search. Or set fallback criteria in the automation rule.
Does this cancel old searches or keep them?
Old searches remain in Bettercontact for reference. New searches run in parallel, so you can compare old vs. new prospect lists.
What if a project changes multiple times quickly?
Each change launches a new search. You can throttle this with a 'minimum time between searches' rule if needed.
