Create Validation Result
Tool to create a validation result. use when recording validation outcomes for a document after parsing.
Why this helps
Your team hears about grants casually in meetings or sees them in Slack, and nobody follows up. Months pass, deadlines slip, and you miss funding because the opportunity wasn't systematized. You work hard for every dollar; grants should be automatic.
- Capture all grant opportunities with one comment in Linear
- Automatically record funding amounts, deadlines, and requirements
- Never miss a grant deadline
- Build a grant opportunity pipeline
- Reduce time-to-apply by 40%
- Track which grants you've applied for and their outcomes
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Affinda to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a grant opportunity is shared in a Linear comment, automatically create a validation result in Affinda with grant name, funding amount, deadline, eligibility requirements, and application link.'
- 3Set the trigger to 'Comment Received'.
- 4Assign notifications to your grants team or executive.
- 5Test by sharing a sample grant opportunity in a Linear comment.
Questions about this workflow
What information should I include in the comment?
Grant name, funding amount, deadline, eligibility requirements, and the link to the application. Notis will extract all of it into a trackable record.
Can I set reminders for application deadlines?
Notis captures the deadline in Affinda. You can set up a separate automation to remind your team 2 weeks before the deadline closes.
Can I track whether we applied?
Yes. You can create a status field in Affinda to track: 'Not Started', 'Applied', 'Awarded', 'Rejected'. Notis can update this as you progress.
What if multiple team members find the same grant?
Notis creates a record each time. You can review duplicates in Affinda and merge them, so you only apply once.
