Avoid Newsletter Collisions with Project Updates

Posting a big project update the same day a newsletter goes out can get lost. When you post a project update in Linear, Notis checks your scheduled newsletters so you don't broadcast over yourself.

Trigger

Project Update Posted

Fires when a project status update is posted on the Linear project's Updates tab. Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token.

Action

List Newsletters

Tool to list all newsletters. use when paginating through newsletter metadata.

Why this helps

Project announcements and newsletters get sent simultaneously, canceling out each other's impact and confusing customers with message overload.

  • Avoid competing messages on the same day
  • Better reach by spacing announcements strategically
  • Reduce newsletter fatigue from too many messages
  • Make smarter decisions about announcement timing

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Customerio to Notis.
  • 2Create a new automation called 'Newsletter Schedule Check'.
  • 3Write: 'When a project update is posted to a Linear project, retrieve all scheduled newsletters from Customerio and show their send dates, subjects, and audience. Alert if there's a newsletter scheduled for the same day or within 24 hours.'
  • 4Select Project Update Posted as your trigger and choose Slack for the alert.
  • 5Test by posting a project update and verify the newsletter schedule appears in Slack.

Questions about this workflow

Can this help me reschedule newsletters automatically?

Not yet - Notis currently retrieves the schedule to inform your decision. You can then manually reschedule in Customerio.

What if I want to send the update and newsletter together anyway?

That's fine - the automation just flags the conflict so you're aware. Ignore the alert and proceed, or adjust timing if you prefer spacing them out.

Does this work for other types of announcements too?

Yes. Adapt the prompt for any Linear event: for example, 'when an issue labeled "announcement" is created, check for scheduled newsletters and flag conflicts.'
