Triage data anomalies with API Ninjas and Linear
Turn a reported anomaly into a focused investigation with relevant live context.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create linear issue
Creates a new issue in a specified linear project and team, requiring a title and description, and allowing for optional properties like assignee, state, priority, cycle, and due date.
Why this helps
A surprising data point is easy to lose when it arrives without enough context or a clear follow-up path.
- Capture the reported anomaly and related lookup result together.
- Create an investigation task when the supplied criteria are met.
- Keep the original report available in the issue description.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect API Ninjas and Linear once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, define an anomaly using supplied data, the lookup to perform, and the issue details to include.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real anomaly report and inspect the resulting issue.

What should the request contain?
Provide the observed data, relevant entity or lookup input, and any baseline needed to judge whether it is anomalous.
Where does the result go?
The workflow creates a new Linear issue in the team and project you specify.
