Track Private Team Issue Changes on WhatsApp
Your private security or finance team works in a locked Linear team. When a private issue changes status or assignee, Notis sends a WhatsApp alert to just that team. Information stays secure, updates stay visible.
Trigger
Private Team Issue Properties Updated
Fires when properties on an issue change in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Action
Send message
Send a text message to a whatsapp number. note: the message will reflect on the recipient's phone number only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
Private team issues update, but monitoring requires logging into Linear. Sensitive projects lack real-time visibility.
- Get real-time updates on private team work
- Keep sensitive projects visible without exposing to public chat
- Ensure private team coordination is as visible as public projects
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and WhatsApp to Notis using a user account with access to the private team.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a property changes on a private Linear team issue, send the private team WhatsApp group a message with the issue, what changed, and new value.'
- 3Select 'Private Team Issue Properties Updated' as your trigger.
- 4Pick the private team's WhatsApp group as the channel.
- 5Test by updating a private team issue and verifying the alert.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which WhatsApp group is private?
You specify which team WhatsApp group receives private alerts. Notis routes accordingly based on your configuration.
Will public team members see private team alerts?
No. Alerts go only to the private team's WhatsApp group. Public team members don't get visibility unless they're also in that group.
What if someone in the private team leaves?
Remove them from the private WhatsApp group. They'll stop receiving alerts. Notis respects whatever group membership you maintain.
