Update Notion by sending a message

Notis is a messaging-first AI assistant built around Notion. Send it a voice note from WhatsApp or Telegram and it creates the entry in the right database, fills the fields, and follows your existing structure. Ask it "what did I decide about the pricing page?" and it queries your databases directly rather than guessing from a text search.

Voice transcribed at 99% accuracy across 56 languages, then routed to the right database with the right properties.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I connect Linear to Notion?

There's no native integration. To connect them, you will need a middleware tool like Make or n8n.

Is the connection between Linear and Notion secure?

Yes. This integration typically uses OAuth 2.0, meaning you grant permission via a secure login window. You do not need to share your raw password, and you can revoke access at any time from your Linear security settings.

Is the sync one-way or two-way?

This is typically a one-way sync: Linear → Notion. Changes in Notion do not sync back to Linear.

Will existing data in Linear sync to Notion?

Usually, no. Most native integrations are "forward-looking," meaning they only sync data created or updated *after* you activate the connection. To move historical data, you will likely need to perform a one-time CSV export/import manually.

Can I sync custom fields?

Native integration is limited to standard fields. For custom field mapping, use an automation tool.

Can I add approval steps before syncing?

Native integrations can't do this. For workflows that need human review (e.g., "Manager must approve before creating invoice"), use Make or n8n to pause the workflow on a webhook or Slack approval before it continues.
