Give new Linear projects a Knack onboarding record
Make the first operational steps for a new initiative visible in Knack as soon as its Linear project is created.
Trigger
Project Created
Fires when a new Linear project is created. Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token, so visibility matches what the connected user can see in Linear.
Action
Create object record
Tool to create a new record in a specific Knack object. Use when you need to add new data to a Knack database object. Requires object-based API key authentication.
Why this helps
Project setup often spans several small steps, and the first ones can be forgotten when a new initiative arrives amid other work.
- Make project onboarding visible from the start.
- Create a consistent operational handoff point.
- Reduce the mental load of remembering setup steps.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Knack to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation or tell Notis to open a Knack onboarding record for every new Linear project.
- 3Describe the onboarding record and useful project context in one plain-language instruction.
- 4Select Project Created and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Create one real project and check its onboarding record.
Questions about this workflow
Can the record represent a checklist?
Describe the onboarding record you want Notis to create; Knack's object structure determines how the information is stored.
Will private projects be covered?
The project-created event covers public and private projects visible to the connected Linear user.
