Generate project planning doc when Linear project is created
Starting a new project should be simple. This automation creates a structured planning document in Coda the moment a project launches in Linear.
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 doc
Creates a new coda doc, optionally copying an existing doc. note that creating a doc requires you to be a doc maker in the applicable workspace (or be auto-promoted to one).
Why this helps
Starting a new project in Linear requires manual setup of planning documents, checklists, and tracking spreadsheets in Coda, creating friction and decision fatigue.
- Removes startup friction by automatically generating a structured planning template
- Reduces decision fatigue about what to include in project documentation
- Standardizes project structure across your organization
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Linear and Coda workspaces to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a new project is created in Linear, make a Coda doc with our project planning template including sections for goals, timeline, team, risks, and milestones'.
- 3Select 'Project Created' as your trigger.
- 4Specify the Coda workspace and the project template you want to use.
- 5Test by creating a new project in Linear and confirming a planning doc appears in Coda within seconds.
Questions about this workflow
Can I use my own project template?
Yes. You can upload your project planning template to Coda, then ask Notis to use it. Notis will copy your template for each new project.
What if I don't want a doc for every project?
You can specify in your automation prompt which projects should trigger it - for example, 'only projects in the Product team' or 'only projects marked as strategic'.
