Notis

Help urgent Linear work get started in GitLab

When an issue's priority changes, the next implementation step can be ready too. Notis can create its GitLab branch from the update.

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

Create Repository Branch

Tool to create a new branch in a project. use when you need to create a new branch from an existing branch or a specific commit in a gitlab project.

Why this helps

Urgent reprioritization adds context switching when the implementation workspace still needs manual setup.

  • Reduce branch setup during an already busy reprioritization.
  • Make the branch easy to connect to the Linear issue.
  • Move from priority decision to implementation with fewer interruptions.

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 for it in plain language.
  • 3Ask Notis to create a GitLab branch when a public-team Linear issue becomes urgent, using the issue identity in its name.
  • 4Pick the Public Team Issue Properties Updated trigger, choose a run-report channel, and test with one real priority change.

Questions about this workflow

Does it react to every issue update?

Tell Notis in the prompt to act only when the issue becomes urgent.

Can the branch name identify the source issue?

Ask for the issue identifier or a recognizable short title in the branch name.
