Keep all issue comments in Box, no manual copying

Comments live in Linear, but your work lives in Box. Notis syncs them so you have complete context without switching apps.

Trigger

Public Team Comment Created

Fires when a new comment is posted on a *public-team* Linear issue. For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_COMMENT_CREATED`.

Action

Create comment

Adds a comment by the user to a specific file, or as a reply to an other comment.

Why this helps

Comments scattered between Linear and Box create context switching and risk lost feedback.

  • All feedback captured in one location
  • No switching between apps for context
  • Complete audit trail of decisions
  • Reduces fear that feedback will be missed

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Ensure Linear and Box are connected to Notis.
  • 2Open Notis portal and create a new automation, or ask Notis: 'When someone comments on a Linear issue, add that comment to the related Box file.'
  • 3Specify how comments should be formatted: 'Add the author name and timestamp, then the comment text.'
  • 4Choose 'Public Team Comment Created' as your trigger event.
  • 5Test by commenting on an active Linear issue and verify it appears in Box.

Questions about this workflow

Will all comments sync, including older ones?

New comments sync automatically going forward. Older comments can be backfilled if requested.

What if a comment is edited or deleted in Linear?

Notis syncs new comments by default. Tell Notis whether to handle updates or deletions.

Can I exclude certain comments?

Yes - filter by commenter, label, or keyword. For example, 'Only sync high-priority issue comments.'
