Automatically search for competitive products when you create feature requests
Never switch browsers to research competitors. Notis searches Bestbuy's full catalog when you create a feature request in Linear, surfacing similar products and competitive features 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
Get Products
Tool to retrieve products from best buy. use when you need to fetch product listings with optional filters and sorting. example: 'get products for category abcat0101000 sorted by saleprice.dsc.'
Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders often forget to research competitor products before building features, leading to duplicated work and missed market insights. Switching to browser research interrupts deep focus.
- Stay in Linear - no browser context-switch
- Automatic competitive lookup on every feature request
- Complete research before design starts
- Avoid building features that already exist
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Bestbuy to Notis in the portal (one-time setup in Integrations tab)
- 2Create a new automation called 'Competitor Product Research' in Automations
- 3Tell Notis: 'When a new public-team issue is created, search Bestbuy for products similar to what's described. Return top results with prices and key features.'
- 4Select your Slack channel for run notifications
- 5Test by creating a feature request issue and checking Slack for product results
Questions about this workflow
How quickly will products appear after I create a feature request?
Results appear in your Slack channel within seconds. The entire automation runs automatically with no manual intervention needed.
Can I customize which types of products to search for?
Yes. Notis reads the feature description and search criteria you write in Linear, then tailors the Bestbuy search accordingly.
What if I want to ignore competitor research for some requests?
Simply don't use this workflow for those requests, or ask Notis to pause the automation temporarily.
