Keep new customer onboarding follow-ups in Linear

Turn a new customer record into a reminder the team can see, without starting a separate manual checklist.

Trigger

New User Created

Triggered when a new user is created in Zendesk.

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

New customers can be added while you are focused elsewhere, and onboarding follow-up may depend on remembering to start it.

  • Give a defined onboarding follow-up a visible home.
  • Reduce the mental overhead of remembering new customer steps.
  • Keep customer onboarding work in the team's Linear flow.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Zendesk and Linear to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation and describe in plain language the specific onboarding follow-up issue to create when a new Zendesk user is added.
  • 3Select Zendesk New User Created as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 4Test with one real new user event and review the issue.

Questions about this workflow

Will this create an issue for every new user?

The event is for newly created Zendesk users. State the onboarding follow-up you want Notis to create in the instruction.

Can the issue avoid unnecessary personal details?

Ask Notis to include only the customer context needed for the follow-up.
