Automate onboarding for public team hires
Your public Linear teams handle hiring, but employee creation automation only catches some hires. Notis now captures all new hire issues from public teams and creates employees in Breathe HR.
Trigger
Public Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue is created in a Linear *public* team. For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_ISSUE_CREATED`.
Action
Create Employee
Tool to create a new employee in BreatheHR. Use when you need to add a new employee record with their personal information, contact details, and employment information. Required fields are first_name, last_name, email, and company_join_date.
Why this helps
You have automation for new hires in some teams but not others, creating inconsistency. Some hiring workflows trigger employee creation and others do not, leaving new hire records incomplete across your org.
- All new hires are onboarded consistently, regardless of team
- Public team hiring follows the same automated workflow as private teams
- No employee records slip through cracks due to team type
- Onboarding is standardized across your org
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Breathe HR integrations to Notis.
- 2Create a new automation called 'Auto-create employees from public team hire issues'.
- 3Write the prompt: 'When a new issue is created in a public Linear team and labeled as new-hire, create an employee record in Breathe HR with their name, email, start date, and team affiliation.'
- 4Select trigger 'Public Team Issue Created' and set your notification channel.
- 5Test by creating a new hire issue in a public Linear team and confirm the employee appears in Breathe HR.
Questions about this workflow
How is this different from the private team automation?
The trigger is different because Linear treats public and private teams separately. The prompt and outcome are the same: hire issues create employee records. You need both automations to cover all cases.
What if a team switches from private to public?
Hire issues from the team will then trigger the public team automation instead. You may want both automations active to catch issues during any team configuration.
Can I use a single automation for both public and private teams?
No, because Linear provides separate triggers for visibility reasons. Create two automations with identical prompts, one for each trigger type.
