Add API Ninjas lookup results to Linear issues
Refresh issue context in place with a focused lookup comment.
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 live context can be separated from the issue where the team is already discussing the work.
- Keep relevant lookup context in the issue discussion.
- Avoid creating a second issue for context that belongs on existing work.
- Start the lookup and comment from an incoming webhook.
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, describe the lookup, the issue reference to use, and what to include in the comment.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real lookup and an existing Linear issue.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a new issue?
No. It adds a comment to a specified existing Linear issue.
What should the webhook include?
Include the lookup input and a reference that lets Notis identify the existing Linear issue.
Can Notis summarize the result?
You can ask Notis to summarize the returned data before commenting. The API Ninjas response must contain the information needed for that summary.
