Track product-side setup for new Zendesk users

When a new user arrives, give any agreed setup check a visible home in Linear instead of relying on a note to yourself.

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

Small setup steps can be scattered across conversations and easily lost among competing priorities.

  • Make a defined setup step easier to coordinate.
  • Keep the follow-up visible with other team work.
  • Reduce context switching to maintain a separate reminder.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Zendesk and Linear to Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation with one plain-language instruction describing the account setup review issue to create for a new Zendesk user.
  • 3Select the Zendesk New User Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 4Test with one real new user event and review the resulting issue.

Questions about this workflow

Can this track a setup step that is not needed for every customer?

The new user event fires for new Zendesk users, so use this workflow for follow-ups that make sense consistently for that group.

What should I include in the instruction?

Describe the setup review or coordination task and ask Notis to include only necessary customer context.
