Open a Teams group chat for every new Linear project
Start a project in Linear and Notis opens a Teams group chat for the core team, so the fast back-and-forth has a home before the work even begins.
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 Chat
Creates a new chat; if a 'oneonone' chat with the specified members already exists, its details are returned, while 'group' chats are always newly created.
Why this helps
New projects need quick coordination, but spinning up the right group chat by hand rarely happens in the moment.
- Core collaborators get a coordination space instantly.
- Quick decisions have a home instead of scattering.
- You skip the manual group-chat setup every launch.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Microsoft Teams to Notis once from the portal.
- 2Open the portal via your Notis link and click New Automation.
- 3Write the instruction: when a new Linear project is created, start a Teams group chat with the core team.
- 4Select the Linear project-created trigger and set the run-report channel.
- 5Create a test project in Linear and confirm the group chat opens.
Questions about this workflow
Who gets added to the chat?
You name the people or roles in your instruction, and Notis creates the group chat with them.
What if that chat already exists?
For a one-on-one, Teams returns the existing chat. Group chats are created fresh each time.
