Why this helps

Remembering to start a timer while switching into focused work can interrupt the momentum you are trying to build.

  • Reduce the pause between starting work and tracking it.
  • Keep time tracking tied to the issue that prompted the work.
  • Receive a run report in the channel you choose.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and Everhour to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis for it conversationally.
  • 3In one plain-language instruction, tell Notis to start an Everhour timer for the matching task when a Linear issue update indicates work has begun.
  • 4Select the Linear Issue Updated trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test by updating one real issue to an active-work state and check the timer in Everhour.

Questions about this workflow

Does the matching Everhour task need to exist?

Starting a timer requires a task. Include in your instruction how Notis should find the matching Everhour task.
