Preserve File Context by Linking Attachments to Issues
A customer sends a design mockup via email. Instead of downloading and re-uploading it to Linear, Notis instantly attaches it to the issue so the whole team sees the latest version in one place.
Trigger
New Email Received
Trigger for new emails in an AgentMail inbox
Action
Create linear attachment
Creates a new attachment and associates it with a specific, existing linear issue.
Why this helps
Important files (PDFs, images, docs) come through email but never make it into Linear. You end up hunting through old emails when you need a reference, or re-uploading manually and wasting time.
- Email attachments automatically link to the correct Linear issue without manual upload
- Entire team sees the latest file version in one place instead of scattered across email
- Reduces time hunting through email threads for a specific attachment or design file
- Improves collaboration by keeping reference docs visible to everyone working on the issue
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agent mail and Linear integrations in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation with the instruction: 'When an email arrives with attachments, attach those files to the related Linear issue automatically.'
- 3Choose 'New Email Received' as the trigger and select your Notis notification channel.
- 4Send a test email with an attachment (e.g., a PDF or image) and confirm it appears in the corresponding Linear issue.
- 5Once verified, enable for all incoming emails. All future attachments will automatically sync to Linear.
Questions about this workflow
What types of files does this support?
Linear supports attachments of all standard types: PDFs, images, documents, spreadsheets, and more. Notis attaches whatever came through email.
Will large files cause any slowdown?
Notis handles large files efficiently. Linear's attachment limits apply, so very large files (>500MB) may need to be linked separately, but typical emails are no problem.
Can I choose which attachments to attach?
You can refine your prompt to exclude certain file types. For example: 'Attach all files except .zip archives' and Notis will filter accordingly.
