Trigger
New Card Trigger
Triggered when a card is created in the specified board
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
Blockers get noted but not acted on when creating the follow-up depends on someone remembering later.
- Turn a status note into an actionable follow-up.
- Make dependency work easier to spot in Linear.
- Reduce the mental load of remembering who needs to help.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Trello and Linear to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation and explain what makes a Trello card a blocker and what follow-up it should create.
- 3Select the Trello New Card trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one representative blocker card and confirm the issue states the needed next action.
Questions about this workflow

Include the assignment guidance in your instruction if the relevant person is clear from the card context.
Can this also handle blockers added to existing cards?
This workflow uses the New Card trigger. Existing-card changes can use the Card Updated trigger in a separate automation.
