Turn posted project updates into video summaries
A new project update can become a short HeyGen video, giving busy teammates another easy way to catch up.
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
Generate video template with variables
This endpoint generates a customized video based on a pre-existing template using heygen's ai-driven platform. it allows for dynamic content creation by accepting a video title and a set of variables that can be used to personalize the video content. the endpoint is ideal for creating tailored videos at scale, such as personalized marketing content, educational materials, or customized presentations. it supports optional features like test mode for preliminary checks, caption enablement for accessibility, and custom video dimensions for various output formats. this tool should be used when you need to produce videos with consistent structure but varying content, leveraging heygen's ai avatars and text-to-speech capabilities to create engaging, personalized video experiences.
Why this helps
People who miss a written update may need the same project context repeated later.
- Reuse a freshly posted update as the source for a video summary.
- Make asynchronous project catch-up more accessible.
- Keep video creation tied to the moment the update is written.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and HeyGen to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis conversationally.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction to generate a concise HeyGen video from each newly posted project update.
- 4Choose the Linear Project Update Posted trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real project update and check the resulting video.
Questions about this workflow
How is this different from reacting to a project property change?
This workflow starts specifically when a project update is posted, rather than on any tracked project property update.
Can the summary be written for a specific audience?
Yes. Name the audience and the useful details to emphasize in the automation instruction.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Linear to Heygen. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Linear triggers
Heygen actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add new asset
Creates a new asset in the heygen platform. this endpoint allows users to add various types of assets that can be used in video generation, such as avatars, backgrounds, or other content elements. the asset is created by sending plain text data, which likely includes necessary metadata or configuration information. this tool should be used when integrating new assets into the heygen ecosystem for use in content creation workflows. it's important to note that this endpoint may not support direct file uploads; instead, it might expect references to pre-uploaded files or configuration data for asset creation.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Add contact to personalized video project
This endpoint allows you to add one or more contacts to a specific personalized video project in the heygen platform. it is used when you need to associate individual contact information with a project, likely for the purpose of creating tailored video content for each contact. the endpoint accepts a project identifier and a list of contacts, each with a first name and email address. this tool is essential for populating your project with recipient data, enabling the creation of personalized videos at scale. note that this endpoint only adds contacts to a project; it does not initiate video creation or sending. ensure that your project id is valid and that all contact information is accurate to avoid errors in video personalization or delivery.
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
Retrieve audience video details
Retrieves detailed information about the audience for personalized videos. this endpoint provides insights into the target audience characteristics, preferences, and engagement metrics for heygen's ai-generated personalized video content. it can be used to gain a deeper understanding of the audience demographics, behavior patterns, and content preferences to optimize video creation and targeting strategies. the tool is particularly useful for content creators, marketers, and businesses looking to tailor their video content to specific audience segments using heygen's ai capabilities.
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Fetch personalized video project detail
Retrieves detailed information about a specific personalized video project in the heygen platform. this endpoint allows you to fetch comprehensive data about a project, including its current status, configuration settings, and any other relevant metadata. use this when you need to get an up-to-date overview of a particular video project, such as checking its progress, reviewing its settings, or gathering information for reporting purposes. the endpoint is read-only and does not modify any project data. note that it may not include the actual video content itself, but rather focuses on the project's attributes and status.
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Post talking photo binary image
Creates a talking photo by processing an uploaded image file. this endpoint enables users to transform static images into interactive, speaking visual content using heygen's advanced ai technology. it accepts jpeg or png image files and likely combines them with audio narration (though audio input is not specified in this schema). use this endpoint when you want to generate engaging, personalized content from still images, such as creating speaking avatars or animated photographs. the endpoint is particularly useful for marketing materials, educational content, or personalized messages. note that while image upload is specified, the method for providing or generating the associated audio is not detailed in this schema.
Private Team Comment Created
Fires when a new comment is posted on an issue in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
List streaming avatars
Retrieves a list of available avatars for streaming purposes in the heygen platform. this endpoint allows developers to access the collection of realistic avatars that can be used for creating professional-looking videos with ai-generated content. it's designed to support applications requiring dynamic or live video content, enabling real-time access to the avatar library. the endpoint should be used when you need to fetch the current set of available avatars for integration into streaming or video generation workflows. it may not provide detailed information about each avatar's capabilities or customization options, focusing instead on delivering a quick, up-to-date list for immediate use in streaming contexts.
Private Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue appears in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Create streaming token with expiry
Creates a new streaming token for use with heygen's real-time avatar and voice chat services. this endpoint generates a unique, time-limited token that authenticates and authorizes access to heygen's streaming capabilities. use this endpoint when initiating a new streaming session or when the previous token has expired. the generated token is typically for one-time use and should be obtained shortly before starting a streaming interaction. note that this endpoint does not initiate the streaming itself; it only provides the necessary credentials for subsequent streaming api calls.
Private Team Issue Properties Updated
Fires when properties on an issue change in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Post streaming ice candidates
This endpoint is used to submit ice (interactive connectivity establishment) candidate information for a specific streaming session in the heygen platform. it plays a crucial role in establishing and managing peer-to-peer connections for real-time communication and streaming of avatar content. the endpoint should be called when new ice candidates are discovered during the connection setup process, typically as part of the webrtc negotiation. it's essential for ensuring optimal connectivity between clients, especially in scenarios involving nat traversal or complex network environments. this endpoint does not return the status of the connection or initiate the streaming itself; it only submits candidate information to be used in the connection process.
