Turn Filtered Google Sheets Data Into Linear Issues
Not all spreadsheet rows need attention at the same time. Notis monitors your filtered sheet view and creates Linear issues only for the data that matches your criteria. Filter once, issue automatically.
Trigger
Filtered Range Values Changed
Polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets filtered ranges for value changes. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect when values matching a data filter change. Emits the matched values when changes are detected.
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
Manually sifting through spreadsheet data to find relevant items and transcribe them into your issue tracker is tedious and error-prone.
- Create Linear issues only from relevant spreadsheet data, reducing noise in your tracker
- Let Notis apply your filter logic automatically instead of manually reviewing each row
- Build intake workflows that respect your priorities without extra manual steps
- Reduce decision fatigue by filtering data upstream in the sheet
- Stay focused on high-value tasks by automating low-value filtering work
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Set up a filter in your Google Sheet for the rows you want to track (e.g., 'Status = Open' or 'Priority = High').
- 2In the Notis portal, create an automation with the prompt: 'Monitor filtered rows in my [Sheet Name] spreadsheet where [Filter Criteria]. When new filtered rows appear, create a Linear issue for each.'
- 3Select 'Filtered Range Values Changed' as your trigger.
- 4Choose your notification channel.
- 5Test by adding a row that matches your filter and confirming the Linear issue appears.
Questions about this workflow
What happens if I change the filter in my spreadsheet after the automation is set up?
Notis detects the new filter automatically. It begins monitoring the updated filtered range and creates issues based on the new criteria moving forward.
Can I use multiple filters?
Yes. Describe your filter logic in the prompt, e.g., 'Status = Open AND Priority = High.' Notis interprets complex filter rules.
What if the same row matches multiple automations?
Each automation creates its own Linear issue independently. If you want to avoid duplicates, design your filters to be mutually exclusive or use a single automation with broader criteria.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Sheets to Linear. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Sheets triggers
Linear actions
Aggregate Metric Changed
Triggers when an aggregate metric (SUM/COUNT/AVG/MIN/MAX) changes in a Google Sheets spreadsheet. This trigger monitors an aggregate calculation on a target column (optionally filtered by a search column/value) and fires when the calculated result changes.
Create linear attachment
Creates a new attachment and associates it with a specific, existing linear issue.
Cell Range Values Changed
Triggers when values in a specified A1 range change in Google Sheets. This trigger monitors a specific cell or range of cells and fires when any values change.
Create a comment
Creates a new comment on a specified linear issue.
Conditional Format Rule Changed
Triggers when conditional formatting rules change in a Google Spreadsheet. Detects when rules are added, updated, or removed. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
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.
Data Validation Rule Changed
Triggers when data validation rules change (added/updated/removed) in a Google Spreadsheet. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
Get create issue default params
Fetches a linear team's default issue estimate and state, useful for pre-filling new issue forms.
Developer Metadata Changed
Triggers when developer metadata entries change (new/updated/removed) in a Google Spreadsheet. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
Create a label
Creates a new label in linear for a specified team, used to categorize and organize issues.
Filtered Range Values Changed
Polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets filtered ranges for value changes. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect when values matching a data filter change. Emits the matched values when changes are detected.
Delete issue
Archives an existing linear issue by its id, which is linear's standard way of deleting issues; the operation is idempotent.
New Rows in Google Sheet
Simple polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets for new rows. Detects when new rows are added and returns the complete row data. Perfect for triggering any workflow based on new sheet entries.
Get all teams
Retrieves all teams from the linear workspace without requiring any parameters.
New Sheet Added in Google Spreadsheet
Polling trigger that detects when a new sheet is added to a Google Spreadsheet.
