Make issue ownership changes easier to hand off
When an issue moves to someone new, create a concise handoff note with the context and open questions they need to resume.
Trigger
Public Team Issue Properties Updated
Fires when properties on a *public-team* Linear issue change (status, assignee, priority, labels, etc.). For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_ISSUE_PROPERTIES_UPDATED`.
Action
Generate documents from template
Tool to generate document(s) from a template by merging JSON data or uploading a data file. Use when you need to programmatically produce one or more documents and receive metadata including a download URL.
Why this helps
A reassignment can leave the next owner rebuilding history from descriptions and comments before they can make progress.
- Help the new owner orient more quickly.
- Reduce context lost during handoff.
- Make open questions visible alongside the issue.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Docugenerate to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction asking Notis to create a handoff note when issue properties change in a way that reassigns ownership.
- 4Select the Public Team Issue Properties Updated trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real reassignment and review the note for useful context.
