Understand Why Issues Change
Status changes signal decisions. This workflow creates a form when issues update, so you capture the reasoning - why it moved, what unblocked it, what changed.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
Create Form
Tool to create a new form in basin. use when you need to automate form setup with name, timezone, and project association; optionally configure redirect, notifications, or spam protection.
Why this helps
Issue status changes happen without context; later you can't remember why something was closed or what decision changed the priority.
- Document decisions at the moment they happen
- Build institutional memory
- Easier to track reasoning later
- Reduce context loss
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Basin to Notis.
- 2Create a new automation: 'When an issue is updated, create a form asking why the change was made and what's next'.
- 3Select 'Issue Updated' as your trigger.
- 4Choose your notification channel and test by updating an issue status in Linear.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create a form for every tiny edit?
By default, yes - but ask Notis to only create forms for status changes or priority changes, not description edits.
What questions should the form ask?
You decide. Try: 'Why was this status changed?', 'What unblocked this?', 'What's the next blocker?', 'Who should know about this?'
Can I make the form optional or required?
You can make it optional and rely on people filling it out when relevant, or ask Notis to require it for certain status changes.
