Carry meaningful PDF revisions into Linear
Compare two versions and update the issue with only the changes that affect the work.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Update issue
Updates an existing linear issue using its `issue id`; requires at least one other attribute for modification, and all provided entity ids (for state, assignee, labels, etc.) must be valid.
Why this helps
A revised document may change requirements subtly, while the Linear issue continues to reflect an older version.
- Focus attention on differences between versions.
- Keep requirements aligned in the existing issue.
- Avoid rewriting issue context from scratch.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Api2pdf and Linear once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to compare the two supplied PDF versions and update the specified Linear issue with differences that affect scope or acceptance details.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real pair of revisions and inspect the issue.
Questions about this workflow
Does Api2pdf itself compare the documents?
Api2pdf provides PDF workflows; Notis analyzes the supplied document content. The comparison depends on the documents being available to the automation.
What if the baseline version is missing?
Provide both versions or otherwise identify the baseline. Notis cannot infer unavailable history.
