Reply to Freshdesk tickets when a Linear project update is posted

You just posted a project update in Linear, and dozens of customers tied to that work still have open Freshdesk tickets. This automation catches the update and replies on the related tickets, so everyone waiting hears the news without you writing the same message thirty times.

Trigger

Project Update Posted

Fires when a project status update is posted on the Linear project's Updates tab. Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token.

Action

Reply to Ticket

Replies to an existing ticket in freshdesk.

Why this helps

A big project update goes out in Linear but the customers who care most, sitting in Freshdesk, never get told.

  • Customers tied to a project hear the update the moment you post it
  • You write the update once instead of copying it into every ticket
  • Support tickets close faster because customers stop chasing status

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and Freshdesk to Notis once from the portal.
  • 2Open your portal link and start a New Automation.
  • 3Describe it plainly: when a project update is posted in Linear, reply on the related Freshdesk tickets.
  • 4Pick the Project Update Posted trigger and choose the channel for run reports.
  • 5Post a test project update and confirm the Freshdesk replies go out.

Questions about this workflow

How does Notis know which tickets relate to the project?

It reads the project context and matches it to the relevant tickets. You describe the intent once and skip any manual lookup.

Can I reword the update before it reaches customers?

Yes, tell Notis in the prompt to phrase it for customers and it will translate the internal note into a support-friendly reply.
