Auto-Announce Projects and Boot Collaboration
Projects get lost in email. Notis boots your chat with project details the moment it's created, so your team knows immediately.
Trigger
Project Created
Fires when a new Linear project is created. Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token, so visibility matches what the connected user can see in Linear.
Action
Livechat boot
Tool to reinitialize the live chat widget with provided data. use after initial load to reset or update widget configuration.
Why this helps
New projects miss audience; team misses project kickoff communications; alignment happens later (if at all).
- Instant team visibility when projects launch
- All project details available in chat at kickoff
- No missed project announcements
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Botstar to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a new project is created, boot the chat with the project name, lead, target date, and description'.
- 3Select 'Project Created' as your trigger.
- 4Test by creating a project and confirming the chat loads with all project details.
- 5Customize which project fields you want included in the boot (scope, goals, team members, etc.).
Questions about this workflow
Can I add custom messages to the project kickoff?
Yes. Tell Notis: 'Include a welcome message: This project is managed collaboratively in chat' and it appends your text.
What if I want different boot content for different project types?
Say: 'For customer projects, include the customer name; for internal projects, include the budget and timeline' and Notis handles conditional logic.
