Capture Talent from Your Issues Automatically
Stop copy-pasting candidate info from issue threads into Ashby. When you mention someone who might be great for a role, Notis creates their candidate profile instantly.
Trigger
Public Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue is created in a Linear *public* team. For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_ISSUE_CREATED`.
Action
Create Candidate
Create a new candidate in the system. Use this to add candidates with their contact information and social profiles before applying them to jobs.
Why this helps
Great candidates are mentioned in issues--in feedback, referral threads, and comments--but capturing them requires context-switching to Ashby and manual data entry, leading to lost opportunities.
- Captures every referred candidate without context-switching
- Builds candidate pool from internal team feedback
- Creates profiles with zero manual entry
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Linear and Ashby accounts to Notis once via the portal integrations page.
- 2In the Notis portal, go to Automations - New Automation and name it (e.g., 'Issue Talent to Candidate').
- 3Write your automation prompt: 'When a new issue is created in my public team, extract any candidate names and details mentioned, then create a candidate profile for each in Ashby.'
- 4Select the trigger 'Issue Created' for your public teams and choose a Slack or email channel to report runs.
- 5Test by creating an issue that mentions a candidate's name and experience, then verify the profile appears in Ashby.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create duplicate candidates?
Notis uses candidate name and email to detect duplicates, so re-running the automation or mentioning the same candidate again won't create a second profile.
What information does it capture?
It extracts name, email (if provided), company, role, and skills from the issue or comments. You can also guide the prompt to look for specific details your team typically includes.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Linear to Ashby. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Linear triggers
Ashby actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add Candidate to Project
Add a candidate to a project in Ashby. Projects are sourcing initiatives or recruiting campaigns used to organize and track candidate pipelines. Use this to associate candidates with specific sourcing efforts. Common use cases: - Adding sourced candidates to recruiting campaigns - Organizing candidates by sourcing channel or initiative - Tracking candidates in specific hiring projects Requires candidatesWrite permission.

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Add Candidate Tag
Add a tag to a candidate in Ashby. Use this to categorize and organize candidates with existing tags from the system. This action allows you to apply labels/tags to candidates for filtering, searching, and organizational purposes. Tags must already exist in the system - use LIST_CANDIDATE_TAGS to view available tags or CREATE_CANDIDATE_TAG to create new ones.
