Urgent work escalates instantly to Box tasks
Priority bumps in Linear get buried. Notis watches for changes and creates an immediate Box task so urgent work cannot be missed.
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
Assign task
Assigns a task to a user. a task can be assigned to more than one user by creating multiple assignments.
Why this helps
Priority changes get lost in notification noise, causing urgent work to slip through.
- Urgent work surfaces immediately
- No manual escalation task creation needed
- Reduces anxiety about missed priorities
- Task assignment happens automatically
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Box to Notis.
- 2Ask Notis 'When I increase priority on a Linear issue, create an urgent task in Box' or create in the portal.
- 3Tell Notis: Watch for priority changes to High or Critical, then create a Box task assigned to me.
- 4Select 'Issue Properties Updated' (specifically priority changes) as your trigger.
- 5Test by raising an issue priority and verify the Box task appears within moments.
Questions about this workflow
What counts as an escalation?
You define it. Tell Notis your threshold - changes to Urgent, Critical, or anything above a certain level.
Can I target specific team members for assignment?
Yes - specify who should receive escalation tasks: the issue owner, yourself, or a team group.
What if the priority drops back down?
You can ask Notis to update or close the Box task when priority decreases.
