Give a Linear issue the Are.na reference it needs
When a reference clarifies a decision already underway, add it to the right Linear issue without breaking focus to write up the context.
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 references are easy to collect but easy to forget when a Linear discussion needs supporting context.
- Attach relevant source context to an existing discussion.
- Give teammates a brief explanation of why the reference matters.
- Avoid creating a separate issue for information that supports current work.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Are.na and Linear once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in Notis by name, prompt, report channel, and trigger.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to comment on the specified Linear issue with the submitted Are.na source and its relevance.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real reference and an existing Linear issue.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a new issue?
No. It adds a comment to the existing Linear issue specified in the webhook request.
What does the request need to contain?
Provide the Linear issue identifier and the Are.na URL with enough source text or context to explain its relevance.
Can Notis decide which issue is relevant?
Only if the request provides enough information to identify the intended issue. The workflow does not discover Are.na activity or infer an issue from unavailable data.
