Reduce forgotten time logging after Linear work

Time logging is easy to put off after a task is finished. Let Notis create a timesheet entry from a qualifying issue update when the necessary details are present.

Trigger

Issue Updated Trigger

Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.

Action

Create Timesheet

Tool to create a new Timesheet record in ERPNext. Use when you need to log time entries for employees or projects.

Why this helps

Manual time logging after completing work competes with the next task and often gets postponed.

  • Capture work while its context is fresh
  • Reduce end-of-week timesheet catch-up
  • Keep effort records closer to delivery activity

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and ERPNext to Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to log qualifying work.
  • 3Write one plain-language instruction defining the completion signal and how to handle missing timesheet details.
  • 4Select the appropriate Linear issue properties trigger and a run-report channel.
  • 5Test with one completed issue and verify the resulting entry before relying on it.

Questions about this workflow

Can the automation invent a time duration?

No. The prompt should use a duration supported by available context or request a review when required details are missing.

What does the ERPNext action create?

The Create Timesheet action creates a new Timesheet record with time entries for employees or projects.
