SplitInBatches Automate

This workflow is designed for project managers, software developers, and teams using Notion and Linear for task management. It is particularly beneficial for those who need to automate the creation of Linear issues from Notion to streamline their workflow and enhance productivity.

This workflow addresses the challenge of manually transferring tasks from Notion to Linear. By automating this process, it saves time, reduces errors, and ensures that all tasks are accurately documented and assigned in Linear, improving team collaboration and project tracking.

1. Trigger: The workflow starts when a user submits a form with a Notion page URL and the name of a Linear team.
2. Fetch Linear Team Details: It retrieves the details of the specified Linear team to ensure the team exists. If the team is not found, an error message is returned.
3. Get Issues from Notion: The workflow fetches all unchecked to_do blocks from the provided Notion page. If it fails to fetch the content, an error response is sent.
4. Loop Over Items: For each unchecked to_do block, the workflow processes the item to extract the title and assignee.
5. Set Assignee and Title: It determines the title and potential assignee based on the content of the to_do block.
6. Shorten Title: If the title exceeds 150 characters, it is shortened to improve clarity.
7. Prepare Issue Data: The workflow aggregates the contents and prepares the issue data for Linear, including a description and title.
8. Create Linear Issue: A new issue is created in Linear with the prepared data.
9. Get Issue URL: It retrieves the URL of the created Linear issue.
10. Add Link to Notion Block: Finally, it updates the original Notion block to include a link to the newly created Linear issue, ensuring traceability and easy access.
