Action

Why this helps
Handoffs are messy. Previous owner forgets context, new owner has to hunt for information, and work stalls while they get up to speed.
- Provides handoff templates automatically when issues reassign
- Ensures previous owner documents context before handing off
- Reduces ramp-up time for new assignee
- Prevents knowledge loss during transitions
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Apilio to Notis (one-time setup).
- 2In Apilio, create string variables with handoff templates (e.g., 'handoff_template', 'context_fields', 'priority_summary').
- 3Ask Notis: 'When an issue is reassigned in Linear, fetch my handoff template and ensure context gets documented.' Create via portal or chat.
- 4Select 'Issue Updated' as your trigger and choose your notification channel.
- 5Test by reassigning an issue and verify the handoff template appears.
Questions about this workflow
What should my handoff template include?
At minimum: current status, blockers, next steps, and gotchas. Add anything else that helps the new assignee hit the ground running.
How does context get documented?
Your Notis prompt can require the previous assignee to fill out the handoff template, or automatically populate it from issue history.
What if the previous assignee doesn't complete the handoff?
Notis alerts you. The new assignee starts with what's available. You can follow up for missing context.
