Never Lose a File Attached to a Comment
When files are attached to Linear comments, Notis automatically creates organized directories in Backendless and stores them there, building a searchable library.
Trigger
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
Action
Create Directory
Tool to create a new directory at the specified path. use when you need to organize files under a new folder structure.
Why this helps
Files attached to Linear comments get lost because you can't organize them in Linear, and you can't search for files later without digging through comment history.
- Automatically organize comment attachments into searchable directories
- Build a file library without manual file management work
- Reduce time spent searching for files mentioned in comments
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Backendless to Notis
- 2Ask Notis: 'When a file is attached to a comment in Linear, create a folder in Backendless and save it there organized by issue or date'
- 3Specify your organization preference (by issue, by date, by project, by file type)
- 4Choose your notification channel
- 5Attach a file to a Linear comment and verify it appears organized in Backendless
Questions about this workflow
Can I search files by the issue they were attached to?
Yes. Notis preserves the issue reference in the file path, so you can browse files by issue or ask Notis to find files from a specific issue.
What about files attached directly to issues (not comments)?
You can set up a parallel automation for issue attachments using the same logic.
