Why this helps
Work gets scattered across Linear and Close. Founder ends up managing the same item twice, or one system becomes stale while the founder focuses on the other.

- Reduce context-switching between multiple systems
- Ensure no work drops off due to system fragmentation

Questions about this workflow
Will this create a task for every Linear issue, even ones I won't act on?
Yes, initially it will. You can later refine the automation using natural language -- for example, ask Notis to only create tasks for issues assigned to you or with specific labels.
What happens if I delete a task in Close after it's created?
The Linear issue remains unchanged. Notis only listens for new issues in Linear. Deleting the Close task won't sync back.
How quickly does the task appear in Close after I create the Linear issue?
Usually within 10-30 seconds. Small polling delay, but you'll see it appear almost immediately.
