Keep completed work out of the forgotten pile
When an issue arrives with a clear work note and duration, Notis can carry that record into Harvest for you.
Trigger
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Action
Create Time Entry
Tool to create a new time entry. use when logging hours for a project by specifying start/end times or duration.
Why this helps
Hours written into an issue can be easy to forget when it is time to update Harvest.
- Capture documented work while the context is fresh.
- Reduce duplicate entry between issue notes and time tracking.
- Keep the automation limited to issues that state a duration and completed work.
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 for one in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, say to create a Harvest time entry only when a new Linear issue clearly documents completed work and its duration; use the relevant project and task when identifiable.
- 4Choose the Linear Issue Created trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real issue that includes a clear duration, then check the Harvest entry.
Questions about this workflow
Will every new issue create a time entry?
The instruction should limit entries to issues that clearly document completed work and a duration, so ordinary new tasks are not treated as recorded hours.
What if the issue does not identify a Harvest project?
Have Notis report the missing match for review instead of guessing where to record time.
