Sync training progress from project milestones
Employees develop skills through project work, but Breathe HR training records do not capture that progress. When you post project milestones in Linear, Notis updates training records so skill development becomes visible.
Trigger
Project Update Posted
Fires when a project status update is posted on the Linear project's Updates tab. Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token.
Action
Update employee training course
Tool to update an existing employee training course record in BreatheHR. Use when you need to modify training details such as status, dates, notes, outcome, or other training attributes.
Why this helps
Your team learns and grows through project work, but Breathe HR training records stay static. Skill development is invisible, progress reports show no learning, and professional growth gets undervalued.
- Training progress is visible from actual project milestones
- Employee skill development is measured and trackable
- Learning becomes part of project outcomes, not separate
- Development records reflect real progress, not just course enrollment
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Ensure Linear and Breathe HR are connected to Notis.
- 2Create a new automation called 'Update training courses from project milestone updates'.
- 3Write the prompt: 'When a project update is posted in Linear describing a milestone or achievement, find any training courses in Breathe HR for team members on the project and update their progress or add a note about the milestone achievement.'
- 4Select trigger 'Project Update Posted' and pick your notification channel.
- 5Test by posting a project milestone update in Linear and verify related training records are updated in Breathe HR.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which training courses to update?
Your prompt can specify criteria, for example, 'update training courses that match the skill mentioned in the milestone' or 'update all training for team members on the project.'
What if no training courses exist for the milestone skill?
Your prompt can specify, for example, 'if no matching training exists, log a note in Breathe HR that this skill milestone was achieved' so nothing is lost.
Can I track which milestones contribute to which skills?
Yes. Include that detail in your prompt, for example, 'map the milestone to the related skill and add it to the training record as evidence of competency.'
