Provision a Database from a Linear Project

Start a launch project with its database request captured in one place and carried into cloud setup.

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 Database Cluster

Tool to create a new managed database cluster. use when you need to provision a database cluster with name, engine, version, region, size, and number of nodes.

Why this helps

Project kickoff details can be scattered, leaving founders to remember a separate database setup task.

  • Links infrastructure setup to the moment a project begins.
  • Reduces the chance that a database prerequisite gets overlooked.
  • Keeps database parameters grounded in the project request.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and DigitalOcean to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally to provision databases for qualifying new projects.
  • 3Describe in one plain-language instruction how to identify an approved database need and use its confirmed configuration.
  • 4Pick the Linear Project Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one real project specifying an approved engine, version, region, size, node count, and cluster name.

Questions about this workflow

Will every new project receive a database?

No. Instruct Notis to act only when the project clearly requests and specifies a database.

How should database options be chosen?

Use a configuration that has been confirmed for the workload and is supported by DigitalOcean.
