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.
