Weekly Linear Issue Status Check
Every Friday, Notis sends you a report of issues that haven't moved in a week, are overdue, or look stuck. Catch problems before they snowball.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get Linear issue
Retrieves an existing linear issue's comprehensive details, including title, description, attachments, and comments.
Why this helps
Issues get stuck in Linear and you don't notice until deadlines have passed or someone finally asks 'what happened to this?'
- Spot stale issues before they become crises
- Catch overdue work early so you can unblock it
- Automatic reminder to move issues that are stuck
- Reduced surprises from work falling through the cracks
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear to Notis.
- 2Create an automation called 'Weekly issue status check.'
- 3Set the prompt to 'Every Friday at 5 PM, send me a report of Linear issues that are overdue, haven't been updated in 7 days, or are assigned to people who haven't commented on them recently.'
- 4Select 'Notis Cron' as your trigger and set it to weekly.
- 5Choose your notification channel.
- 6Test by asking Notis to run the report immediately and review the format.
Questions about this workflow
Can I customize what counts as 'stale'?
Yes. Tell Notis '5 days instead of 7' or 'only flag issues in-progress' and it adjusts the criteria.
Should I get this weekly or more frequently?
Weekly is standard, but you can get daily reports or just on-demand. What works for your workflow?
Can I exclude certain projects from the report?
Yes. Tell Notis 'Skip [Project Name] and just show [Other Project]' to focus the report.
