Your Linear Data, Safely Backed Up Every Night
Sleep easy. Your Linear workspace backs up itself every night, automatically. No setup, no stress.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Execute Code
Execute python code in a sandbox and return any result, stdout, stderr, and error. use /home/user folder to write/read files. try to not use plt.show() as the code is executed remotely. use files for image/chart output instead.
Why this helps
You worry about losing work if something happens to Linear. Manually exporting data is friction you never get around to. So you live with background anxiety about losing months of planning and decisions.
- Peace of mind knowing your work is backed up every night
- Recovery is fast if anything ever goes wrong
- Historical snapshots let you track how your roadmap evolved
- No manual effort--set it once and forget it
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Codeinterpreter to Notis (integrations page).
- 2Create an automation named 'Daily Linear Backup.'
- 3Write in plain language: 'Every night at midnight, export all issues, projects, comments, and custom fields from Linear as JSON. Save to /home/user/backups/linear-YYYY-MM-DD.json. Include metadata like created date, assignee, status, and all links.'
- 4Choose 'Schedule (Daily)' as the trigger and set it to run at midnight. Skip notifications unless there's an error.
- 5Check your backup folder after the first night to confirm the export format looks right.
Questions about this workflow
How much storage will daily backups use?
A typical workspace (1000 issues, 5000 comments) is 5-20MB per day in JSON format. A year of backups is 2-7GB--very manageable.
Can I restore from a backup?
The JSON export is readable and parseable. You could use it to re-import into Linear or migrate to another tool. Restoration would be manual, but the data is safe.

Codeinterpreter actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Sandbox
Create a sandbox to execute python code in a jupyter notebook cell. this is useful for agents to communicate, execute code, see output, read files, write files, etc. it's like you own personal computer, but in the cloud. use /home/user folder to write/read files.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Execute Code
Execute python code in a sandbox and return any result, stdout, stderr, and error. use /home/user folder to write/read files. try to not use plt.show() as the code is executed remotely. use files for image/chart output instead.
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
Get File
Get a file from the sandbox and returns the file. the files should be read from /home/user folder.
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Run Terminal Command
Run a command in the terminal and returns the stdout, stderr, and error code. use /home/user folder to write/read files.
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Upload File
Upload a file to the sandbox environment. the files should be uploaded to the /home/user folder.
