Flag Urgent Work in Linear Automatically
Create an urgent task in Clickup and the dev team gets an immediate high-priority Linear issue. Critical work gets the attention it deserves.
Trigger
Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in the configured Workspace.
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
Urgent tasks created with high priority in Clickup don't automatically signal urgency in Linear, leading to missed escalations and delayed starts on critical work.
- Urgent work gets immediate visibility to the dev team
- No delay between flagging something urgent and team action
- Reduce context-switching to check Clickup for urgent updates
- Clear escalation path for time-sensitive work
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Clickup and Linear to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a new high-priority or urgent task is created in Clickup, create a matching Linear issue marked as high priority.'
- 3Select 'Clickup - Task Created' as the trigger.
- 4Refine to trigger only on high-priority tasks via your automation prompt.
- 5Set your notification channel and test with a high-priority Clickup task.
Questions about this workflow
Does this catch tasks marked urgent after creation?
This automation triggers on task creation. For priority changes after creation, use the 'Task Priority Updated' automation.
Can I also assign to a specific person or team?
Yes, you can refine the automation to auto-assign urgent issues to your tech lead or on-call engineer.
What defines 'high priority'?
You define it in your automation prompt—e.g., Clickup 'Urgent' or '!!' priority level triggers a high-priority Linear issue.
