Comments automatically become tracked Box tasks

Someone comments with an action item. Notis creates a Box task instantly - no manual transcription needed.

Trigger

Private Team Comment Created

Fires when a new comment is posted on an issue in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).

Action

Create task

Creates a single task on a file. this task is not assigned to any user and will need to be assigned separately.

Why this helps

Important comments are overlooked and become forgotten action items.

  • Action items surface automatically
  • Nothing gets lost in discussion threads
  • Work is tracked and visible
  • Reduces cognitive load of remembering items

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and Box to Notis.
  • 2Ask Notis 'Turn private team comments into Box tasks, but only when they mention action items' or set up in the portal.
  • 3Define action item signals: 'Look for comments starting with TODO or containing keywords like needs, implement, review.'
  • 4Select 'Private Team Comment Created' as your trigger.
  • 5Test by posting a comment with an action item and verify the Box task appears.

Questions about this workflow

How do I signal that a comment should become a task?

Use keywords like TODO, TASK, ACTION, or a specific format. Tell Notis what signals you use.

Should all comments become tasks, or only specific ones?

Filter them - most teams want only comments clearly describing action items to become tasks.

Who should the task be assigned to?

Notis can assign to the commenter, the issue owner, or a specific person. Your call.
