Action
Get Conditions
Tool to fetch all evaluatable conditions. use when you need to list available conditions.
Why this helps
Issues get marked ready for review before they're done. Reviewers discover missing work, kick them back, and waste everyone's time.
- Ensures work meets review prerequisites before reviewer sees it
- Prevents review kickbacks from incomplete work
- Reduces reviewer frustration and cycle time
- Maintains review quality without slowing development
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Apilio to Notis (one-time setup).
- 2In Apilio, define conditions for review readiness (e.g., 'is_tested', 'documentation_complete', 'no_blocking_issues').
- 3Ask Notis: 'When an issue is marked ready for review in Linear, check my Apilio conditions and validate prerequisites.' Create via portal or chat.
- 4Select 'Issue Updated' as your trigger and choose your notification channel.
- 5Test by marking an incomplete issue as ready and verify the validation catches issues.
Questions about this workflow
What prerequisites should I validate?
Start with what makes your reviews grind to a halt: incomplete testing, missing docs, unresolved blockers. Add more as patterns emerge.
What happens if prerequisites aren't met?
Notis alerts you with specific missing items. You can either complete them or override if you're certain the work is ready.
Can different work types have different prerequisites?
Yes. Create separate condition sets for features, bugs, docs, etc. Your Notis prompt applies the right set based on issue type.
