Sync Task Assignments to Linear
Assign a task to someone in Clickup, and they automatically see it assigned in Linear too. No dropped handoffs, no 'Did you see this?' messages.
Trigger
Task Assignee Updated
Triggers when an assignee is added to or removed from a task. `changes[]` carries `AssigneeAddChange` and/or `AssigneeRemoveChange` entries. A single event may bundle multiple adds and/or removes — for example when a workflow re-routes a task between two users in one operation.
Action
Update issue
Updates an existing linear issue using its `issue id`; requires at least one other attribute for modification, and all provided entity ids (for state, assignee, labels, etc.) must be valid.
Why this helps
Assigning a task in Clickup but forgetting to update Linear leaves engineers unaware they own work, leading to delayed starts and frustrated team members.
- Team members always see all their work in Linear without checking Clickup
- Eliminate 'I didn't see that was assigned to me' scenarios
- Reduce Slack messages and context-switching to check both tools
- Clear ownership reduces missed deadlines and duplicate work
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Clickup and Linear integrations to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a task assignee changes in Clickup, update the Linear issue to assign the same person.'
- 3Choose 'Clickup - Task Assignee Updated' as the trigger.
- 4Set your notification channel for run reports.
- 5Test by assigning a Clickup task to a team member and verify they see it in Linear.
Questions about this workflow
What if the person isn't a Linear team member?
Notis will log an error or skip the assignment. Ensure team members exist in both Clickup and Linear before assigning.
Can I assign to multiple people?
Yes, if a task gets multiple assignees in Clickup, Notis can add them all to the Linear issue, or you can customize to assign only the primary owner.
Does this handle reassignments?
Absolutely. Whenever the assignee changes, the Linear issue is updated to match.
