Keep Linear issues current with text updates
Post a quick status update by text and keep the related Linear issue in the loop.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create a comment
Creates a new comment on a specified linear issue.
Why this helps
Useful progress updates arrive in texts but are easy to miss when the team checks Linear for the latest status.
- Record a status update without opening Linear.
- Keep the message attached to the issue it concerns.
- Reduce the chance that useful progress stays in a private text thread.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Android Texter and Linear once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in plain language or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to comment on the Linear issue identified in each message and preserve the update's meaning.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real SMS update that includes an issue reference.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which issue to comment on?
Include an issue identifier or link in the message and tell Notis to use that reference. If none is present, the automation should report that it cannot identify the issue.
Will the comment quote the entire message?
Describe your preferred style in the instruction, such as a concise paraphrase with the original detail retained where useful.
Can this create a new issue instead when there is no reference?
This workflow is set up to comment on an existing issue. A separate instruction and automation can handle requests that should become new issues.
