Refresh issue context with public web evidence
Bring relevant findings into the issue description so decisions have their research close at hand.
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 lose context when research changes but the tracked work does not.
- Keep the issue description aligned with relevant research.
- Include links so teammates can verify claims.
- Reduce manual editing and context switching.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ceramic and Linear once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, using a name and this outcome: search public web sources for the specified issue's research question, then update that issue description by adding a clearly labeled summary with source links while preserving its existing content.
- 3Pick a webhook trigger so an HTTP request can start the run.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real issue and check that existing description content is preserved.
Questions about this workflow
What issue information is needed?
The automation needs to identify the existing Linear issue and the research question to search.
Will the update replace the whole description?
Tell Notis to preserve the existing content and add a labeled research section. Review the first run to confirm the result.
Are the sources guaranteed to be authoritative?
Ceramic returns relevant public web content. Ask Notis to assess relevance and include links so a person can verify sources.
