PERSONAL PRODUCTIVITY
Log promises you make in email as Linear tasks
Watches only the email you send, detects commitments where you are the one on the hook, and creates a Linear issue with a due date so your own promises become assigned.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.
- TriggerEmail you send from GmailGmail
- ActionDetect self-commitment and extract task + due date with OpenAIOpenAI
- LogicFilter: keep only promises you personally made
- ActionCreate Linear issue with due dateLinear
- OutputOwned, dated task in your Linear backlogLinear
What it does
This workflow watches your outbound mail specifically — the messages where you are the person making the promise. When you write "I'll get you the contract tomorrow" or "sending revised numbers by EOD Thursday," it creates a Linear issue assigned to you, with the deadline set and the customer or thread referenced.
When to use it
Use it when your follow-through problem is on your side of the table. Sales reps, founders, and consultants who over-promise in email and need each promise to become a real ticket in their work tracker, not just a calendar nudge. Linear gives you status, assignment, and a backlog view of everything you owe.
How it works
- 1The flow triggers only on messages you send from Gmail.
- 2OpenAI checks whether you committed to a deliverable and extracts the task, the recipient, and the due date from natural phrasing.
- 3A filter discards FYIs, acknowledgements, and anything without a concrete promise.
- 4A Linear issue is created with a clear title, the resolved due date, and the email thread link in the description.
- 5The issue lands in your Linear backlog as owned, dated work.
Set it up
What you configure once, before turning it on.
