Sync team assignments from Linear to employee records
Your org chart shouldn't fall out of sync with who's actually working on what. When you assign someone to a new project in Linear, Notis logs a change request in Breathe HR so records stay current.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
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
You assign people to projects in Linear, but their Breathe HR records still show outdated department or role info. You forget to update it manually, and your HRIS becomes a source of confusion instead of truth.
- Your Breathe HR always reflects who is actually working on what
- Change requests auto-logged, removing another manual task
- Reduces the gap between Linear and your HRIS
- Helps line managers and HR see real-time team structure
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1In the Notis portal, connect Linear (workspace) and Breathe HR (account) if not already done.
- 2Create a new automation called 'Update employee records when Linear assignments change'.
- 3Write the prompt: 'When an issue in Linear is assigned or reassigned to someone, create a change request in Breathe HR noting their new project assignment and team.'
- 4Select trigger 'Issue Updated' and set the notification channel for run reports.
- 5Test by assigning a team member to a new project in Linear and confirm a change request appears in Breathe HR.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create a change request for every assignment change?
By default, yes. If you want to limit it to certain projects or team members, describe that in your prompt and Notis will filter accordingly.
What if the assignment is temporary?
Notis logs it as a change request. You can note the duration in the request or manually close it in Breathe HR when the assignment ends.
Does this update the role, or just log a change?
It creates a change request in Breathe HR, which your HR team can review and approve. This keeps the process auditable and gives HR visibility into team changes.
