Review project files when public Linear issues change
Bring a Dropbox folder's contents into view when a public issue changes and a file check would help move the work forward.
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
List folder contents
Retrieves a list of folders, files, and deleted entries from a specified dropbox path.
Why this helps
Issue changes can require a quick document check, but finding the right Dropbox folder interrupts the work.
- See existing folder contents alongside a changing issue.
- Catch relevant documents without a separate manual folder visit.
- Use a path rule grounded in your team conventions.
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 when to list a Dropbox folder and how to identify the relevant path from available issue context and your conventions.
- 4Pick the Linear public team issue properties updated trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real public issue update and confirm the listed folder is relevant.
Questions about this workflow
Will this include files in subfolders?
The Dropbox list folder contents action returns contents for a specified path. State whether the automation should use a recursive listing when that option is available.
Can it choose a folder based only on an issue title?
It can use available issue context, but a title may not be enough to identify the right path. Provide a clear folder convention or search scope.
