Schedule a Discord kickoff event for every new Linear project

New projects need a kickoff, but scheduling it is the step that slips. When a Linear project is created, Notis sets up a Discord scheduled event so the team has a time to gather before the energy dies down.

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 guild scheduled event

Creates a new scheduled event in a discord guild; a separate json request body (not defined in this action's request schema model) with event details (e.g., name, type, schedule) is required, and its specific fields depend on the event's `entity type`.

Why this helps

Kickoffs never get scheduled in the excitement of starting, so new projects drift without a real launch moment.

  • Get a kickoff on the calendar the moment a project exists
  • Give the team a clear gathering point to start together
  • Stop losing launch momentum to unscheduled kickoffs
  • Remove one more setup task from your plate

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and Discordbot to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an Automation named Discord kickoff event per Linear project.
  • 3Write the prompt: When a new Linear project is created, schedule a Discord kickoff event for it.
  • 4Select the Project Created trigger and pick the Discord channel for run reports.
  • 5Create a test project and confirm the scheduled event appears in Discord.

Questions about this workflow

When does it schedule the event for?

You describe the timing in your instruction, for example two days out at 10am, and Notis sets it.

Does the bot need permissions?

Yes, the Discord bot needs permission to create scheduled events in the server.

Can it name the event after the project?

Yes, ask Notis to use the project name and it will.
