Keep donor follow-up issues current
Let Notis check available record details and refresh existing Linear issues when the work has changed.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
An issue can stop reflecting the donor context while the team continues to rely on it.
- Bring relevant current context into existing issues.
- Reduce time spent reconciling stale task details.
- Keep updates focused on information that changes the work.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Blackbaud and Linear once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Donor Follow-Up Issue Refresh.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to compare available donor context with identified Linear issues and update issue descriptions only when a meaningful change is found.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real donor record and its related issue.
Questions about this workflow
What information can it update?
Ask it to update only details present in available Blackbaud data and relevant to the existing issue.
