Give new Linear engineering initiatives a GitLab home
A new initiative often needs a code space as well as a plan. Notis can create the GitLab project from the Linear project details.
Trigger
Project Created
Fires when a new Linear project is created. Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token, so visibility matches what the connected user can see in Linear.
Action
Create Project
Tool to create a new project in gitlab. implements post /projects endpoint.
Why this helps
Project setup gets postponed when the planning and code spaces must be created separately by hand.
- Reduce repeated setup when an engineering initiative begins.
- Keep project naming and purpose recognizable across tools.
- Give implementation a home as soon as planning starts.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and GitLab to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to set one up.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a GitLab project when a new Linear engineering initiative is created, using its purpose for context.
- 4Pick the Project Created trigger, choose a channel for run reports, and test with one real initiative.
Questions about this workflow
Will every Linear project need a GitLab project?
State which kinds of initiatives should receive a GitLab project in the instruction.
Does this create the project automatically?
The selected GitLab action creates a project, so describe the intended scope clearly in the automation prompt.
