Diagnose Blocks by Checking Your Environment
When you mark an issue as blocked, Notis fetches your current temperature, humidity, and ambient conditions. Over time, you might notice blocks correlate with specific environmental conditions.
Trigger
Public Team Issue Properties Updated
Fires when properties on a *public-team* Linear issue change (status, assignee, priority, labels, etc.). For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_ISSUE_PROPERTIES_UPDATED`.
Action
Get Devices
Tool to retrieve a list of user's ambient weather devices with their most recent data. use when you need to list your stations and view their latest readings.
Why this helps
ADHD and autistic founders often don't consciously register that their environment is affecting their ability to work, so they might feel stuck without understanding why. Temperature, air quality, or light levels are often invisible obstacles.
- Capture environment data at the moment of feeling blocked
- Spot patterns: Do you get blocked when it's hot? Loud? Dim?
- Find environmental fixes to unstuck yourself
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect both Ambient Weather and Linear to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: When an issue is marked as blocked, fetch all ambient data and log it to help diagnose the block.
- 3Set up in Automations or chat with Notis.
- 4Use Issue Updated as the trigger, filtering for status = blocked.
- 5Test by updating an issue to blocked and verifying conditions are captured.
Questions about this workflow
How does environment cause blocks?
For some neurodivergent folks: high heat causes brain fog, poor air quality reduces focus, wrong light type causes headaches. Without data, you don't see the pattern.
What if I'm blocked by a dependency, not environment?
The automation logs conditions regardless. Over time, you'll see whether blocks correlate with environment or external factors.
Can I use this to adjust my space?
Absolutely - if you notice most blocks happen when temp is above 75F, that tells you to get AC or a fan.
