Turn project update next steps into tasks
Keep an important next step from a project update visible after you close the update.
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 Task
Creates a new task in a given `tasklist id`, optionally as a subtask of an existing `task parent` or positioned after an existing `task previous` sibling, where both `task parent` and `task previous` must belong to the same `tasklist id` if specified.
Why this helps
Project status updates can contain useful actions that are easy to lose in a stream of information.
- Capture explicit next steps without rereading updates.
- Keep project context close to the task.
- Make follow-through easier to resume.
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 add a task only for clear next steps assigned to you in a project update.
- 3Select the Linear Project Update Posted trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with a real project update containing a clear action.
Questions about this workflow
Does every project update become a task?
No. The prompt can tell Notis to capture only concrete actions that are assigned to you.
Can the task include project context?
Yes. Ask Notis to include the project name and a link to the relevant update.
