Turn WhatsApp bug reports into Linear issues
Keep customer-reported bugs from disappearing in chat. Notis can turn a clear TimelinesAI WhatsApp report into a Linear issue with the relevant details and context.
Trigger
New WhatsApp Message Received
Polling trigger that monitors for new messages received in TimelinesAI WhatsApp chats.
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
A useful bug report is easy to lose when it arrives in the middle of an active WhatsApp conversation.
- Preserves the customer's wording and reproduction details for investigation.
- Reduces the need to switch from a conversation into Linear just to capture the issue.
- Keeps reported defects in the team's existing work queue.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect TimelinesAI and Linear to Notis once in the portal.
- 2In the portal, create an automation and give it a name, or tell Notis what you want conversationally.
- 3Use one instruction: create a Linear issue when a WhatsApp message reports a reproducible product bug, preserving relevant context and avoiding duplicates.
- 4Choose the TimelinesAI new WhatsApp message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real bug report and confirm the resulting issue has enough context to investigate.
Questions about this workflow
Will every WhatsApp message become a Linear issue?
The instruction can ask Notis to create an issue only when a message contains an actionable, reproducible product bug.
Does this automation include customer context?
Yes. Ask Notis to preserve relevant details from the message, such as the reported behavior and reproduction information.
