Create a project brief from every new Linear issue
Capture the why, scope, and first steps while the idea is fresh. Notis can use a Docugenerate template to create a shareable brief from a new Linear issue.
Trigger
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
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
An issue can hold the seed of a project, but turning it into a useful brief takes a separate writing session that is easy to postpone.
- Keep context attached to the work as it moves beyond Linear.
- Reduce the effort of turning a rough issue into a readable starting point.
- Give collaborators a document they can review asynchronously.
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 in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to turn each new Linear issue into a project brief using your chosen Docugenerate template.
- 4Select the Linear Issue Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real issue and review the generated document.
Questions about this workflow
Does this copy every issue into a document?
The automation runs on the selected issue-created trigger. Describe in the prompt which issues should become briefs and what the brief should cover.
Do I need to map issue fields?
No. Tell Notis in plain language what information to use and how the brief should read.
