# Create Linear issues from Notion with assignee detection and AI-powered title shortening
This automation streamlines the transfer of tasks from Notion to Linear, saving time for teams that use Notion for planning and Linear for development tracking. The workflow starts via a form webhook, extracts unchecked to-do items, parses assignees, creates richly formatted issues, and adds backlinks in Notion.
## Who it´s for
- Teams using Notion for planning and Linear for task management
- Product managers automating task migration between systems

- Project managers in IT companies with hybrid task tracking setups
## What the automation does
- Triggered by a form submission with a Notion page URL and Linear team name
- Fetches all unchecked ´to-do´ blocks from the specified Notion page
- Parses assignee and title from structured text (e.g., ´[Ivan] Update button´)
- Uses GPT-4 to shorten overly long titles to meet Linear’s 70-character limit
- Creates a detailed Linear issue with a Markdown-based description from nested Notion content
- Updates the original Notion block with a link to the created Linear issue
