Turn customer feature requests into visible product work
Give thoughtful requests a place in Linear, with enough context to evaluate them later.
Trigger
New Outlook Message
Triggered when a new message is received in the Outlook mailbox.
Action
Create linear issue
Creates a new issue in a specified linear project and team, requiring a title and description, and allowing for optional properties like assignee, state, priority, cycle, and due date.
Why this helps
Product suggestions stay scattered in email, making recurring needs harder to recognize.
- Keep customer needs discoverable.
- Reduce manual transcription of product feedback.
- Preserve the request's context for prioritization.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and Linear to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create an issue for meaningful customer feature requests and summarize the need with relevant context.
- 4Choose the New Outlook Message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one genuine feature request email and review its summary.
Questions about this workflow
Will it create issues for casual comments?
Ask Notis to capture substantive requests and skip passing or ambiguous remarks.
Can the issue explain why the customer wants it?
Include the underlying user need in the instruction, not only the requested feature.
