Automatically Sync Spreadsheet Properties to Linear
When spreadsheet properties change (title, timezone, locale, or recalculation settings), Notis updates your Linear tracking issues. Keep your team aware of property changes instantly.
Trigger
Spreadsheet Properties Changed
Polling trigger that detects when a Google Spreadsheet's top-level properties change. Monitors properties such as title, locale, timeZone, and autoRecalc settings.
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
Spreadsheet-level property changes can affect how teams interpret data or when automations run, but changes often go unnoticed.
- Spreadsheet property changes (title, timezone, locale) sync to Linear issues automatically
- Keep your team aware of property updates that affect data interpretation or automation timing
- Reduce confusion from timezone or locale changes that affect work
- Create a clear audit trail of configuration changes
- Coordinate infrastructure changes across tools without manual notification
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1In the Notis portal, create an automation with the prompt: 'When spreadsheet properties change in my [Sheet Name] spreadsheet (title, timezone, locale, or auto-recalc), update the Linear issue [Issue Name] with the change details.'
- 2Select 'Spreadsheet Properties Changed' as your trigger.
- 3Choose your notification channel.
- 4Test by changing a spreadsheet property (e.g., timezone or title) and confirming the Linear issue updates.
Questions about this workflow
Which properties count as 'top-level properties'?
Title, locale, timeZone, and autoRecalc settings. These affect how the entire spreadsheet behaves.
Will minor property changes like whitespace in the title trigger updates?
Only meaningful changes trigger updates. Minor formatting or whitespace changes are ignored.
Can I filter to only certain property changes?
Yes. Specify in your prompt which properties matter, e.g., 'Only notify if timezone changes or autoRecalc is disabled.'

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
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create linear attachment
Creates a new attachment and associates it with a specific, existing linear issue.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create a comment
Creates a new comment on a specified linear issue.
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 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.
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.
Get create issue default params
Fetches a linear team's default issue estimate and state, useful for pre-filling new issue forms.
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 a label
Creates a new label in linear for a specified team, used to categorize and organize issues.
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.
Delete issue
Archives an existing linear issue by its id, which is linear's standard way of deleting issues; the operation is idempotent.
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.
Get all teams
Retrieves all teams from the linear workspace without requiring any parameters.
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.
Download issue attachments
Downloads a specific attachment from a linear issue; the `file name` must include the correct file extension.
