Track public-team issue status changes in a Google Docs log
Status changes tell the real story of a release, but that story stays locked inside Linear's activity feed. Notis appends each public-team status, assignee, or label change to a Google Doc so the history reads clearly in one place.
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
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
The trail of status changes that explains how a release came together lives only in Linear's activity feed and is painful to reconstruct.
- Each public-team status change is appended to a running log.
- The story of a release stays readable in one document.
- You never reconstruct history from Linear's activity feed again.
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 it plainly: 'When a public-team Linear issue changes status, assignee, or labels, add a dated note to our Release Notes doc.'
- 4Select the Public Team Issue Properties Updated trigger and pick the run-report channel.
- 5Change an issue's status in a public team and confirm the note appears.
Questions about this workflow
Can I capture only status changes and ignore labels?
Yes. Narrow the prompt to just status changes and Notis will skip the rest.
Does this work for private teams?
No, this one is for public teams. Use the private-team property automation for teams with the lock icon.
