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.
