Action

Get Teams

Tool to retrieve available teams. use when filtering teams by id, name, league, season, country, code, venue, or search before fetching detailed team data.

Why this helps

Creating a task about a specific sports team requires stopping work, looking up rosters manually, and re-entering data into Linear--breaking your focus.

  • Roster data appears instantly in Linear when you create an issue
  • No switching between tools to research team composition
  • Always see current squad size, formation, and key players

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect your Linear and Api sports accounts to Notis (one-time setup in the portal).
  • 2Ask Notis: 'When I create a Linear issue, fetch the team roster data from Api sports and add it to the description.'
  • 3Select 'Issue Created' as your trigger and choose the Slack channel where Notis reports runs.
  • 4Test it by creating a Linear issue mentioning a team name (e.g., 'Manchester City feature research').

Questions about this workflow

Does this work for any team?

Yes. Notis extracts the team name from your Linear issue and fetches matching Api sports data. If the team isn't found, Notis will prompt you to clarify which team or league.

Can I use this for multiple teams in one issue?

Yes. You can mention multiple teams in your issue, and Notis will fetch roster data for each one.

How fresh is the roster data?

Api sports data is updated continuously. Rosters reflect the latest transfers and squad changes in the system.
