Issue labels automatically sync to Box metadata

Add a label to a Linear issue, and Notis applies matching metadata to the Box file.

Trigger

Public Team Issue Properties Updated

Fires when properties on a *public-team* Linear issue change (status, assignee, priority, labels, etc.). For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_ISSUE_PROPERTIES_UPDATED`.

Action

Create metadata instance on file

Applies an instance of a metadata template to a file. in most cases only values that are present in the metadata template will be accepted, except for the `global.properties` template which accepts any key-value pair.

Why this helps

Tag systems diverge between tools, making files hard to categorize and search.

  • Labels stay synchronized across systems
  • Reduces duplicate tagging work
  • Files are consistently categorized
  • Search and filtering work reliably

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Ensure Linear and Box are connected to Notis.
  • 2Ask Notis 'Sync Linear labels to Box metadata' or open the portal.
  • 3Map your labels: 'When design label is added, apply design metadata. When urgent is added, apply high-priority metadata.'
  • 4Select 'Issue Properties Updated' (specifically label changes) as your trigger.
  • 5Test by adding a label to an issue and confirm the Box metadata updates.

Questions about this workflow

How do I map labels to metadata?

Tell Notis your label names and which metadata they should map to. Create new fields if needed.

What if I remove a label?

You can have Notis remove corresponding metadata, keep it, or flag it for review.

Can multiple labels sync to one file?

Yes - one issue can have many labels and they will all sync to the file's metadata.
