Setup

- 3Select trigger: Comment Received (Linear).
- 4Choose your notification channel.
- 5Test by mentioning a team member in a video task comment and see whether Notis confirms or flags their Amara account status.
Questions about this workflow
What if the team member doesn't have an Amara account?
Notis will flag that and suggest you create an account for them or assign the work to someone else.
Does this check permissions, or just account existence?
It checks if the user exists in Amara. Detailed permissions (team access, video editing rights) you'll need to verify separately in Amara.
Can I use this for new hires?
Yes. Before you assign them video tasks, this automation confirms they have Amara setup complete.
