Use Ably presence to guide Linear follow-up reviews
A recurring review can help you notice when an Ably channel needs attention and find related Linear work to review.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List Linear issues
Lists non-archived linear issues; if project id is not specified, issues from all accessible projects are returned. can also filter by assignee id to get issues assigned to a specific user.
Why this helps
Checking channel activity and then searching Linear by hand makes it easy to miss follow-up when attention is split.
- Bring channel presence and open Linear work into one scheduled review.
- Surface issues for human review without assuming presence proves an issue is blocked.
- Avoid repeating the same manual cross-app check.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Linear once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to review Ably channel presence and relevant Linear issues, and report possible follow-ups with its evidence.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real presence check and review the resulting report.
Questions about this workflow
Can presence data prove that a Linear issue is blocked?
No. Presence only shows the information Ably returns for a channel. Use the report as a prompt for review, and provide a way to associate channel activity with Linear issues if that relationship is not available from the returned data.
Does this workflow update Linear issues?
No. It lists Linear issues for review and reports potential follow-ups. It does not change issue fields.
