Notify Slack About New Private Team Issues
New work in your private Linear team instantly posts to Slack, ensuring sensitive or confidential issues don't get overlooked.
Trigger
Private Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue appears in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Action
Post message to channel
Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.
Why this helps
Private team issues often feel 'out of sight, out of mind' for neurodivergent founders because they're harder to discover. Notis brings them into Slack so nothing slips through.
- Private team issues appear in Slack instead of hiding in Linear
- Catch sensitive or confidential work that's easy to miss
- Keep oversight of all work across public and private teams
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Slack to Notis (ensure Notis can access your private teams).
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a new issue is created in my private Linear teams, post it to #private-work with the title and assignee.'
- 3Select 'Private Team Issue Created' as the trigger.
- 4Choose a Slack channel for private work alerts.
- 5Create a test issue in a private Linear team and verify it posts to Slack.
Questions about this workflow
Will this expose private issues to people who shouldn't see them?
No. You control which Slack channel receives these alerts, and you should restrict access to that channel to people with access to the private team.
What if I have multiple private teams?
Notis catches all private team issues in your prompt. You can also create separate automations for each team if desired.
