Prepare the right questions for a project kickoff
Start with fewer loose ends. Let DeepSeek identify the questions that could clarify scope, ownership, and success for a new project.
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 Chat Completion
Tool to create a chat completion using DeepSeek models (deepseek-chat or deepseek-reasoner). Use when you need to generate AI responses to chat conversations. Supports streaming, tool/function calling, and various parameters to control generation behavior (temperature, max_tokens, etc.).
Why this helps
Project kickoff conversations can become scattered when the key unknowns have not been gathered first.
- Collect important questions before kickoff.
- Focus early discussion on scope and success.
- Reduce the mental effort of preparing from scratch.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and DeepSeek to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to set it up conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction asking DeepSeek to suggest a short list of kickoff questions from new project context.
- 4Select the Linear Project Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real project and review the questions.
Questions about this workflow
Can it keep the list short?
Yes. Specify a maximum number of high-value questions in the plain-language instruction.
Can it focus on project risks?
Ask it to prioritize questions about scope, ownership, dependencies, and success measures.
