Why this helps

Archived PDF discussions are not searchable, forcing manual review of entire documents to find specific feedback or decisions.

  • Search within archived comment discussions instantly
  • Reduce time hunting for specific feedback
  • Create searchable feedback databases
  • Preserve discussion context in accessible format

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and Api2pdf to Notis.
  • 2Ask Notis: 'When someone comments on a Linear issue, convert the comment thread to searchable HTML.'
  • 3Specify storage location for HTML files (cloud drive, knowledge base, email).
  • 4Set any filters (specific labels, projects, or comment types).
  • 5Test by commenting on an issue and verifying the HTML file is created and searchable.

Questions about this workflow

Can I maintain both PDF and HTML versions?

Yes, tell Notis 'Create both PDF and HTML versions' and it will generate both for full flexibility.

Will links and formatting be preserved in the HTML?

Yes, HTML conversion maintains structure, links, and formatting from the original Linear comments.

Can I search across multiple comment threads at once?

If you store HTML in a searchable system (knowledge base, cloud drive), you can search across all archived threads.
