Keep Linear issue descriptions current with feedback
Carry useful customer context into the working description as feedback evolves.
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
Issue descriptions can become stale when customer needs are refined in Canny after the work has been created.
- Keep issue context aligned with customer needs.
- Reduce manual description editing.
- Give implementers current feedback close to the task.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canny and Linear once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation and describe which new feedback warrants a description update.
- 3Tell Notis how to identify the issue and how to preserve existing issue content while adding the new context.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real linked issue and review the description before relying on the update.
Questions about this workflow
Will it overwrite existing issue details?
Provide an explicit instruction to preserve existing content and add only the new relevant context. Review the first result carefully.
Can it add acceptance criteria?
Ask for proposed criteria only when the feedback supports them, and label them as suggestions if your team still needs to confirm them.
