Discussions Become Tasks Automatically
When team members comment on Linear issues, action items often hide in the thread. This automation watches those conversations and creates tasks in Clientary for items that need doing. Comments drive action without extra steps.
Trigger
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
Action
Create Task
Tool to create a new task in Clientary. Use when you need to create a task with a title, optionally associating it with a project and assignee.
Why this helps
Detailed discussions in Linear comments contain buried action items that never make it into the task system because they are easy to miss.
- Never miss action items in discussions
- Automatically surface hidden work
- Keep comments from creating blind spots
- Reduce manual task entry
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Clientary integrations to Notis.
- 2Create the automation: 'When a comment is posted on a Linear issue, create a task in Clientary if the comment mentions something that needs to be done.'
- 3Select 'Comment Received' as your trigger.
- 4Choose a notification channel to track created tasks.
- 5Test by posting a comment with an action item on a Linear issue and confirm the task appears in Clientary.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know what is an action item versus casual conversation?
Notis uses natural language to detect patterns like 'we should,' 'can you,' 'needs to,' or explicit task language. You can also train it: 'Only create tasks for comments that mention these keywords' or 'Skip self-replies.'
Will this create a task for every comment?
No. Notis filters intelligently and only creates tasks when it detects actionable language. You can refine the rule further in your prompt.
Can I assign the task to the person who mentioned it?
Absolutely. Tell Notis: 'Assign the task to the person who left the comment' or 'Assign it to a specific team member.' It reads and applies assignments.
