Update Classroom topics as lesson plans change

When you revise a unit name in Linear, let Notis carry the clearer label into the Classroom topic that organizes its materials.

Trigger

Issue Updated Trigger

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

Action

Patch Course Topic

Tool to update fields of a course topic. use when you need to rename a topic after confirming its current details.

Why this helps

Course topics can retain old names after a lesson plan changes, making it harder for students to find the right material.

  • Keep topic names consistent with current lesson plans.
  • Reduce repetitive course cleanup after planning changes.
  • Make course materials easier for learners to scan.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and Google Classroom to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations or ask Notis conversationally.
  • 3Give Notis one instruction to rename the matching Classroom topic when a Linear issue changes the name or focus of a lesson unit.
  • 4Pick the Linear Issue Updated trigger and select a run-report channel.
  • 5Test with one real lesson-name change and verify the correct topic.

Questions about this workflow

Will this rename topics for unrelated issue edits?

Limit the prompt to changes that alter a lesson unit's student-facing name or focus.

Can it create topics too?

This workflow updates an existing topic. Topic creation uses a separate Classroom action.
