Move explicitly flagged Slack requests into Linear
Useful requests can disappear in a busy Slack thread. Add a :ticket: reaction to the message in your designated request channel, and Notis can turn its contents into a Linear issue in the team and project you chose.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
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
Copying actionable requests from Slack into Linear adds manual triage and creates another chance for work to be forgotten.
- Use a deliberate reaction as the signal, rather than turning every message into an issue.
- Keep the original Slack request available alongside a new Linear work item.
- Route issues to one prompt-specified Linear team and project without guessing assignment or priority.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Linear to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation and specify a dedicated Slack request channel plus the destination Linear team and project in one plain-language prompt.
- 3Select the Slack Message Reaction Added trigger with that channel and the :ticket: emoji filters, then choose where run reports should go.
- 4Test by reacting to one clear request and confirm one Linear issue is created; ask for clarification in the report instead of creating an issue when the message lacks enough detail.
Questions about this workflow
Will every Slack message in the channel become a Linear issue?
No. The trigger should be filtered to the :ticket: reaction in a designated request channel, so issue creation requires an explicit signal.
Does the workflow guess an assignee or priority?
No. It uses the Linear team and project specified in the prompt and should leave assignee and priority unset unless you explicitly configure them. If the message does not support a clear title and description, Notis should request clarification rather than invent details.
