Turn Linear Issues Into Calendar Events Instantly
Each new team issue becomes a calendar entry in seconds, parsed by AI to set the right time. Your calendar always reflects your actual work.
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
Quick Add Event
Parses natural language text to quickly create a basic google calendar event with its title, date, and time, suitable for simple scheduling; does not support direct attendee addition or recurring events, and `calendar id` must be valid if not 'primary'.
Why this helps
Manually adding each issue to your calendar breaks focus and creates duplicate work. The gap between 'issue created' and 'on calendar' is where tasks disappear.
- Uses AI to intelligently parse issue title and extract timing cues
- Eliminates manual calendar data-entry
- Keeps your calendar up-to-date without extra clicks
- Supports improvisational work styles (add now, adjust later)
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Google Calendar to Notis.
- 2Create a new automation: 'Quick-Add Issues to Calendar'.
- 3Set the prompt: 'When a new issue is created in a public team, use natural language parsing to quickly add it as a calendar event. Parse the title for any timing hints (e.g., 'review by Friday').'
- 4Select trigger: 'Public Team Issue Created'.
- 5Pick your Notis channel for run reports.
- 6Test by creating an issue with a clear title (e.g., 'Audit Q3 budget by EOW') and verify it appears on your calendar.
Questions about this workflow
What if the issue title doesn't include timing info?
Notis creates a default calendar entry (usually a 1-hour block). You can then adjust it manually, or provide timing context in your automation prompt (e.g., 'Default to 2-hour blocks for development work').
Does this handle recurring issues?
Not automatically. Each issue creates one calendar event. If you want recurring calendar blocks for regular Linear work, set up a separate notis_cron-based automation.
Can I preview the calendar event before it's added?
Not with real-time preview. However, Notis sends a run report to your chosen channel, so you can quickly see what was created and adjust if needed.
