Keep Dropbox project folders aligned with Linear changes
When a project change means its files belong somewhere else, Notis can move the project folder to the location you specify.
Trigger
Project Properties Updated
Fires when properties on a Linear project change (status, lead, target date, priority, etc.). Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token.

Why this helps
A project can change status or ownership while its Dropbox folder stays behind in an outdated location.
- Keep project folder placement aligned with your stated organization rules.
- Avoid manually relocating folders after meaningful project changes.
- Only move folders when the trigger context meets your specified rule.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Dropbox once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and provide a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis which project changes should move a Dropbox folder and describe the source and destination naming rules.
- 4Pick the Linear project properties updated trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real project change and confirm the folder was moved as intended.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis decide a destination based on project status?
Yes, if the relevant status and folder convention are available or clearly stated in your instruction. Specify the destination rules rather than expecting Notis to invent them.
Does this update Dropbox permissions too?
No. This workflow uses the Dropbox move file or folder action. It does not change sharing permissions.
