Auto-create Cloudinary folders for design issues

Stop manually creating folders in Cloudinary when design work lands in Linear. Notis creates them automatically, keeping your assets organized from the start.

Trigger

Public Team Issue Created

Fires when a new issue is created in a Linear *public* team. For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_ISSUE_CREATED`.

Action

Create Folder

Tool to create a new asset folder. use when you need to organize assets into nested directories. use after confirming the folder path does not already exist.

Why this helps

Every time a design issue appears in Linear, you have to remember to create a corresponding folder in Cloudinary, switching between tools and risking disorganized assets.

  • Eliminates manual folder creation
  • Assets stay organized automatically
  • One less context-switch per design ticket
  • Reduces cognitive load during creative work

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect your Linear and Cloudinary accounts to Notis from the portal (one-time setup).
  • 2Ask Notis 'Create a Cloudinary folder automatically when a new design issue is created' or navigate to Automations - New Automation.
  • 3Set the trigger to Public Team Issue Created, and Notis will create a folder in Cloudinary using the issue title.
  • 4Choose your notification channel (Slack, email, or SMS) where Notis reports each folder creation.
  • 5Test by creating a new design issue in Linear and verify the folder appears in Cloudinary within seconds.

Questions about this workflow

What folder name will Notis create?

Notis uses the Linear issue title. If your issue is 'Design hero banner', the folder becomes 'design-hero-banner'.

Can I use this with private Linear teams?

Yes. Use Private Team Issue Created trigger instead. Setup is identical; Notis polls your private team for new issues.

What if the folder already exists?

Notis checks first and skips creation if a folder with that name exists, preventing duplicates.
