Turn Sheet Query Results Into Bulk Linear Issues
Run a complex query on your Google Sheet and let Notis create a Linear issue for each result row automatically. Query changes instantly become a list of issues to act on.
Trigger
Table Query Result Changed
Triggers when the result set of a saved table query changes in Google Sheets. Detects rows added, removed, or updated in the query output. This trigger monitors the result of a SQL query against a Google Sheets table and fires 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
Running queries on spreadsheets to surface important data, then manually creating issues for each result, is repetitive and defeats the purpose of automation.
- Query your data and have matching Linear issues created automatically for each row
- Reduce manual work by eliminating copy-paste transcription from query results to issues
- Keep your bulk issue list in sync with your query results dynamically
- Run complex queries to surface exactly the issues your team needs
- Save energy by letting Notis handle bulk creation instead of manual entry
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Create a saved table query in Google Sheets that returns the rows you want to track.
- 2In the Notis portal, create an automation with the prompt: 'Monitor my [Query Name] saved query in [Sheet Name]. When the query results change, create a Linear issue for each new or updated row in the result set.'
- 3Select 'Table Query Result Changed' as your trigger.
- 4Choose your notification channel.
- 5Test by updating your spreadsheet data to change the query results and confirming Linear issues appear.
Questions about this workflow
What happens if a query result row was already converted to a Linear issue?
Notis tracks which rows have been converted and only creates new issues for rows that are new to the result set. Existing issues are not duplicated.
Can I customize the issue title and description from query columns?
Yes. In your prompt, specify which columns become the title and description, e.g., 'Use the Project column as the title and the Description column as the issue description.'
What if my query returns hundreds of results?
Notis creates issues in batches to avoid overwhelming your Linear project. The exact batching can be customized in your prompt.

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

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

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.
