Automatically Label Linear Issues in Your Gmail Inbox
New Linear issues scattered across your inbox become impossible to find later. Notis auto-labels them (by team, priority, or project) so you can sort them in seconds without digging through email.
Trigger
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Action
Modify email labels
Adds and/or removes specified gmail labels for a message; ensure `message id` and all `label ids` are valid (use 'listlabels' for custom label ids).
Why this helps
Founders with ADHD often lose track of issues because they're buried in an unlabeled email pile. You end up re-reading a thousand emails instead of searching one label.
- Every Linear issue email gets tagged automatically—no manual sorting
- Sort by team, priority, project, or assignee in one click
- Find old issues without re-reading your entire inbox
- Frees mental energy—the system is the memory
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Gmail to Notis.
- 2Ask Notis: 'When a new issue is created in Linear, label it in Gmail as [Team Name] or [Priority Level].'
- 3Choose or create labels: 'Engineering', 'Design', 'Urgent', 'Backlog', etc.
- 4Test by creating a new issue in Linear; check that the Gmail label appears.
- 5Notis applies labels from that point forward to every matching issue.
Questions about this workflow
Can I apply multiple labels to one email?
Yes. You can say 'Label as Engineering AND Urgent' or 'Label by team and by priority.' Notis stacks them automatically.
What if I want to label only certain issues?
Tell Notis your rule: 'Only label High and Urgent priority issues' or 'Only label issues assigned to the frontend team.' It filters automatically.
Do I have to create the labels myself first?
No. Notis can create the labels for you as part of setup, or use existing ones. Either way, labeling happens automatically after the first run.
