Keep Public Team Issues in Your Gmail Workflow
Your public Linear team issues come in fast, but replying means opening yet another app. Stay in Gmail, see the issues, reply inline—Notis handles the bridge back to Linear.
Trigger
Public Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue is created in a Linear *public* team. For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_ISSUE_CREATED`.
Action
Reply to email thread
Sends a reply within a specific gmail thread using the original thread's subject, requiring a valid `thread id` and correctly formatted email addresses. supports attachments via the `attachment` parameter with valid `s3key`, `mimetype`, and `name`.
Why this helps
Context-switching between Linear and Gmail breaks your flow. Neurodivergent founders lose track of which issues need input, then find them days later, cold.
- Reply to public team issues without opening Linear
- All team conversations flow into one Gmail thread
- Faster decision-making—replies go directly to stakeholders
- No more 'I forgot to check that issue' moments
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Gmail to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a new issue is created in [Public Team Name], thread it into Gmail and let me reply there.'
- 3Notis maps the issue to an email conversation and syncs replies.
- 4Test by creating a new issue in the public team; look for it in Gmail and reply.
- 5Enable the automation—new public team issues now flow to Gmail.
Questions about this workflow
Do my Gmail replies show up in Linear?
Yes. Reply in Gmail; Notis posts it as a comment on the Linear issue so the whole team sees it.
What if I'm in multiple public teams?
Notis can thread issues from all your public teams, or just specific ones. You choose which teams feed into Gmail.
Will this double my email volume?
No—it consolidates. Instead of checking Linear AND email, you check Gmail once. Issues are threaded, so they don't spam your inbox.
