Notis

Keep the key project visual easy to spot

When an issue's status or other properties change, Notis can refresh its related album cover to feature the visual most useful for the current phase.

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

Update Album

Updates an album's title or cover photo in google photos.

Why this helps

The first photo in an album may no longer represent what the team needs to see after an issue changes.

  • Keeps a related album visually relevant as work changes.
  • Makes the current reference easier to recognize at a glance.
  • Avoids a separate manual cover-maintenance task.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and Google Photos to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to refresh related album covers after relevant issue changes.
  • 3Use one plain-language instruction describing which issue changes and image should determine the cover.
  • 4Select the Linear Public Team Issue Properties Updated trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with an issue linked to an album containing suitable cover media.
