Never Skip Project Kickoff Meetings Again
New projects start with good intentions and no structure. Notis watches Linear for new projects and instantly blocks focused kickoff time--no more projects that quietly slip sideways because the team never actually aligned on scope.
Trigger
Project Created
Fires when a new Linear project is created. Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token, so visibility matches what the connected user can see in Linear.
Action
Create One-Off Event Type
Creates a temporary calendly one-off event type for unique meetings outside regular availability, requiring valid host/co-host uris, a future date/range for `date setting`, and a positive `duration`.
Why this helps
Projects get created in Linear but never get a proper kickoff meeting. Team is confused on scope. Founder realizes mid-sprint that nobody discussed priorities.
- Every project gets a structured kickoff before work starts
- Reduces mid-project scope confusion and rework
- Founder doesn't have to remember to schedule kickoffs manually
- Keeps project momentum from day one with clear alignment
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Calendly to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a new project is created in Linear, block 1 hour for the project kickoff meeting.'
- 3Select 'Project Created' as the trigger.
- 4Test by creating a new project and confirming the calendar block appears.
Questions about this workflow
Should this invite team members or just block my time?
By default it blocks founder time. Modify the instruction to 'invite [team members]' if you want them auto-included.
What if not every project needs a kickoff?
Create the automation to trigger only for projects in specific teams or with specific labels.
