Keep a Linear issue current with new Are.na evidence
Add newly surfaced research to an existing issue's description while keeping its goal and action clear.
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
Issues age as new evidence appears, and adding research by hand can interrupt the work already underway.
- Bring new evidence into an issue already in progress.
- Summarize how submitted research relates to the current issue.
- Reduce manual editing when context changes.
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 update the specified issue description with the submitted Are.na evidence while preserving existing intent and adding source links.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real issue and evidence submission, then review the updated description.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a new issue?
No. It updates an existing Linear issue and requires its issue identifier.
Will it preserve existing content?
Instruct Notis to preserve the issue's current intent and incorporate the new evidence carefully. Review the result in your test run.
What if no Are.na source is provided?
The workflow depends on the source content and link being included in the webhook request.
