Investigate Blockers Async: Auto-Allocated Sessions
Issue gets marked blocked. Notis starts a recording session. You investigate root cause later, with full documentation of your findings.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
Start Browser Session
Tool to start a new browser session with optional customizations. use when you need to programmatically allocate an isolated browser instance with recording, proxy, live view, and feature toggles.
Why this helps
Blocked items need urgent investigation but starting work mid-task breaks focus. Blockers fester because jumping in feels like context-switching debt.
- Eliminate friction from starting blocker investigation
- Document root causes and solutions automatically via recording
- Batch blocker analysis into planned investigation blocks
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Anchor browser to Notis
- 2Create automation: 'When an issue status becomes blocked, start a new Anchor browser recording session'
- 3Set trigger to 'Issue Updated' for blocked status
- 4Choose notification channel for session creation
- 5Test by marking an issue as blocked; Notis should create a session within seconds
Questions about this workflow
Can I include the blocker reason in the session notes?
Yes. Notis can extract the Linear issue details and auto-add them as session notes for reference.
Should I investigate the same session or create a new one for resolution?
Start in the same session if investigating immediately. If you return later, Notis can create a new session and link both together.
