Turn Public Comment Screenshots into Searchable Text
Public team members share screenshots without typing the text, burying important details. Notis extracts the text from every screenshot comment, keeping all communication searchable and accessible.
Trigger
Public Team Comment Created
Fires when a new comment is posted on a *public-team* Linear issue. For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_COMMENT_CREATED`.
Action
ASTICA_READ_TEXT
Tool to perform ocr on an image to extract text. use when you need to read raw text from images after confirming the image source.
Why this helps
Public teams share screenshots in comments without transcribing text. This creates search blind spots and excludes team members with accessibility needs.
- All shared visuals become searchable text
- No information hidden in images
- Improve accessibility for all team members
- Build a complete text record of team communication

- 2Create a new automation: 'When a comment is posted in a public team issue with a screenshot, extract all text from the image.'
- 3Select 'Public Team Comment Created' as the trigger.
- 4Choose your team Slack or email channel where Notis reports extracted text.
- 5Share a screenshot in a public team issue comment and verify text extraction appears.
Questions about this workflow
Does this extract text from all types of images?
Yes, including screenshots, diagrams, charts, photos with text, and any image type. Notis attempts OCR on any image in a comment.
Will extracted text appear in the original comment?
By default, extracted text is reported to your channel. You can ask Notis to post extraction results as a reply in the original thread for full visibility.
What about memes or screenshots without text?
If an image has no text, Notis will report that. This is normal and doesn't create errors.
