Make Linear blockers visible in Google Tasks
Keep the reason work is paused close to the task you will return to.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
Patch Task
Partially updates an existing task (identified by `task id`) within a specific google task list (identified by `tasklist id`), modifying only the provided attributes from `taskinput` (e.g., `title`, `notes`, `due` date, `status`) and requiring both the task and list to exist.
Why this helps
A blocked issue can look like an ordinary task in a crowded list, making it harder to know what needs unblocking.
- Recognize paused work at a glance.
- Keep blocker context near the next action.
- Make it easier to resume when the dependency clears.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Google Tasks to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation prompt asking Notis to update the matching task notes with the blocker context when an issue becomes blocked.
- 3Select the Linear Issue Updated trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test on a real issue that has a matching Google Task.
Questions about this workflow
Will this add notes for every issue change?
Tell Notis to act only when an issue enters a blocked state.
Can the note keep the issue link?
Yes. Ask Notis to include the issue link and the relevant blocker details.
