Why this helps
Ideas captured between meetings can get buried before they receive a deliberate review.
- Create a reliable place to revisit spontaneous ideas.
- Avoid interrupting the current task to organize a thought.
- Preserve the original wording for later evaluation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Todoist and Linear to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction to create a Linear issue for new Todoist tasks that capture product or business ideas, preserving the original thought.
- 4Select the Todoist New Task Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real idea and confirm it is easy to recognize in the Linear backlog.
Questions about this workflow
Can I keep using Todoist as an idea inbox?
Yes. The automation can create a corresponding Linear issue when a new idea task arrives.
Will Notis rewrite the idea?
Ask it to preserve the original thought so it remains recognizable during review.
