Turn New Linear Issues Into Team Emails Automatically
New issues in Linear pile up fast. Instead of manually writing each one into an email, let Notis draft it for you—complete with context, assignee, and priority. Review, tweak, send in seconds.
Trigger
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Action
Create email draft
Creates a gmail email draft, supporting to/cc/bcc, subject, plain/html body (ensure `is html=true` for html), attachments, and threading.
Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders often get interrupted mid-task. When a new Linear issue arrives, the mental load of then writing an email notification keeps growing your task list instead of shrinking it.
- Write once, send to one inbox instead of context-switching between two apps
- Draft is ready to review—no blank page syndrome
- Team stays informed without you crafting each notification from scratch
- Timestamps and priority show up automatically in the draft
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Gmail to Notis (one-time from your Notis portal).
- 2Ask Notis or create an automation: 'When a new issue is created in Linear, draft an email to my team with the issue title, assignee, and priority.'
- 3Choose your channel (Slack, email, etc.) where Notis reports each run.
- 4Trigger it by creating a test issue in Linear; check that the email draft appears in Gmail.
- 5Enable the automation and forget the drafting step—Notis handles it.
Questions about this workflow
Does the email get sent automatically?
No—Notis creates a draft. You review it, make any last-minute changes, and send it yourself. This keeps you in control and catches any edge cases.
Can I customize the email template?
Yes. When you set up the automation, you tell Notis exactly what to include (e.g., 'only high-priority issues' or 'add a link to the Linear issue'). It remembers that for every run.
What if I don't want to email every single new issue?
Tell Notis your rule: 'Only draft emails for issues with High or Urgent priority' or 'Only for issues assigned to the dev team.' It filters automatically.
