Notis

Update Linear work from bounce alerts

Make delivery problems visible in the issue that depends on the message reaching its recipient.

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

Bounce alerts are easy to miss while the related Linear task still looks complete.

  • Expose blocked outreach
  • Keep issue status honest
  • Trigger a clear recovery step

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect BlueFox Email and Linear in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation named Bounce alert updater.
  • 3Tell Notis to update the referenced Linear issue with the bounce reason and a recovery action from each webhook payload.
  • 4Pick notis_webhook as the trigger.
  • 5Choose a report channel and test with one bounce alert.

Questions about this workflow

Can it update priority as well as state?

Yes. Request any supported issue attributes for which valid identifiers are available.

What if the issue reference is missing?

Have Notis report the alert for manual matching instead of guessing.
