Automate Expense Creation from Linear Issues
Stop switching between Linear and Brex to log expenses. Create expenses automatically when issues signal they're ready.
Trigger
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Action
Create Expense
Create a new expense.
Why this helps
Switching between Linear and Brex to enter expense data creates friction and expenses often get forgotten in the handoff
- Eliminates context-switching between tools
- Reduces manual data entry errors
- Expenses created on schedule
- No forgotten follow-ups
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Brex integrations to Notis in the portal (one-time setup).
- 2Create a new automation called 'Expense Report Automation' with the prompt: 'When a Linear issue is labeled expense-ready, create an expense in Brex with the issue title as the description and amount.'
- 3Select 'Issue Created' as your trigger event and specify the expense-ready label filter.
- 4Choose your notification channel (Slack, email, SMS, etc.) for automation run reports.
- 5Test by creating a Linear issue with the expense-ready label and confirm the expense appears in Brex.
Questions about this workflow
What if my expense doesn't have an amount in the Linear issue?
You can provide a default amount in the prompt, or update the Brex expense manually after it's created. Notis will pull whatever information is available from the Linear issue.
How often does the automation run?
The automation runs immediately when you create or update a Linear issue with the trigger label, typically within seconds.
Can I disable this automation temporarily?
Yes, you can toggle any automation on or off in your Notis portal without deleting the workflow configuration.
