Keep one running status log from your Linear project updates
Project updates live inside Linear where investors and advisors never look, and rebuilding the timeline later means scrolling forever. Notis appends each update to one Google Doc so the whole story reads top to bottom.
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
Insert Text into Document
Tool to insert a string of text at a specified location within a google document. use when you need to add new text content to an existing document.
Why this helps
Status updates pile up inside Linear's Updates tab, so when someone asks for the history you have to reconstruct it by hand.
- Every project update is added to a single, dated log automatically.
- You can share one link instead of granting Linear access.
- The full history is readable in one scroll, newest to oldest.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Google Docs to Notis once from the portal.
- 2Open Automations from your portal link and click New Automation.
- 3Describe the outcome plainly: 'When a project update is posted in Linear, add it with the date to my Project Status Log doc.'
- 4Choose the Project Update Posted trigger and pick the channel for run confirmations.
- 5Post a test update in Linear and confirm the line appears in the log.
Questions about this workflow
Will old entries get overwritten?
No. Notis appends each update to the existing document, so the running history stays intact.
Can I keep a separate log per project?
Yes. Tell Notis to use a doc named after each project and it will route updates accordingly.
