Put effort context beside project updates
A project update can include a quick view of recorded hours, so progress conversations have more context.
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
List Time Entries
Tool to retrieve a list of time entries. use when you need to fetch tracked hours with filters or date ranges for reporting or invoicing. example: "list time entries for project 123 between 2023-01-01 and 2023-01-31".
Why this helps
Project updates can describe progress without showing how much time the work has consumed.
- Bring time context into project-update review.
- Make effort easier to discuss alongside progress.
- Avoid manually searching Harvest before sharing an update.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Harvest to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to look up Harvest time entries for the project and provide a concise hours summary when a Linear project update is posted.
- 4Choose the Linear Project Update Posted trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by posting one real project update for a project with recorded hours.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis edit the Linear project update?
The instruction can ask Notis to report a summary in the selected run channel; it does not need to modify the update.
What if there are no matching hours?
Ask Notis to state that no matching Harvest time entries were found.
