Auto-log project lead changes in employee records
When someone becomes a project lead in Linear, that is a meaningful career change. Notis automatically creates a change request in Breathe HR so the promotion or transition is documented.
Trigger
Project Properties Updated
Fires when properties on a Linear project change (status, lead, target date, priority, etc.). Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token.
Action
Create Employee Change Request
Tool to create a change request for an employee field. Use when you need to update employee information such as job title, department, or salary.
Why this helps
People take on leadership roles in Linear projects, but Breathe HR still shows them as individual contributors. Role changes are invisible, career progression is unmeasured, and you lack an audit trail for compensation or reporting changes.
- Leadership transitions are documented automatically in Breathe HR
- Career progression becomes measurable and auditable
- Role changes trigger official change requests, not informal notes
- Org structure visibility improves in real time
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Ensure Linear and Breathe HR are connected to Notis.
- 2Create a new automation called 'Record project lead changes as employee role updates'.
- 3Write the prompt: 'When a project in Linear is assigned a new lead or the lead property changes, create a change request in Breathe HR for the new lead documenting their transition to project lead for this project.'
- 4Select trigger 'Project Properties Updated' and pick your notification channel.
- 5Test by changing the lead on a Linear project and verify a change request is created in Breathe HR for the new lead.
Questions about this workflow
Does this handle when someone steps down as a lead?
Yes. If the lead field is removed or changed to someone else, Notis creates a change request reflecting the change. You could refine your prompt to specify how to handle lead removals.
Should this trigger a compensation review?
That depends on your company policy. Your prompt could note in the change request, for example, 'review compensation for new project lead status,' which flags it for HR to follow up.
What if multiple people co-lead a project?
You can adapt your prompt to handle multiple leads, for example, 'if co-leads are listed, create a change request for each person reflecting their shared leadership.'
