Notify Stakeholders About Project Changes Instantly
A project deadline moves in Linear, the lead switches, or the priority escalates. Instead of manually emailing stakeholders to explain the change, Notis drafts it for you in seconds. Review and send.
Trigger
Project Properties Updated
Fires when properties on a Linear project change (status, lead, target date, priority, etc.). Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token.
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
Project changes fall through communication cracks. People don't know the deadline shifted until they're shocked on the original date. As a founder, you're the one left explaining the gap.
- Stakeholders hear about changes before confusion builds
- Draft is contextual—includes the old deadline/lead and new details
- No scrambling to explain changes in an ad-hoc call
- Keeps your communication log clean and professional
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Gmail to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a project's deadline, lead, or status changes, draft an email explaining the change to my stakeholders.'
- 3Specify which recipients (CEO, board, client, etc.) and what changes matter most to them.
- 4Test by updating a project's deadline in Linear; check that an appropriate draft appears in Gmail.
- 5Enable it—project changes now automatically prompt communication.
Questions about this workflow
What if only minor things change, like a description?
You decide what matters. Tell Notis: 'Only email for deadline or lead changes; ignore description tweaks.' This keeps your inbox focused.
Can I email different people based on the change type?
Yes. You can say 'If deadline changes, email stakeholders; if lead changes, email the new lead and team.' Notis routes accordingly.
Do I have to send every draft?
No—it's a draft. Some changes might not need external communication. Review each one and decide whether to send.
