Action

Why this helps
Developers don't immediately know which systems a bug might cascade to, leading to missed impacts and slower response.
- See dependencies instantly
- Understand issue scope
- Prevent cascade failures
- Reduce troubleshooting time
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Better Stack to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a critical issue is created, retrieve all catalog relations and show which services are affected.'
- 3Select 'Issue Created' as your trigger with a priority or label filter.
- 4Test by creating a critical issue and verify dependency information appears.
- 5Notis will surface dependencies for all future matching issues.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which services are related?
It queries your Better Stack catalog. Make sure your catalog relations are configured in Better Stack first.
Can I filter which dependencies are shown?
Yes. Tell Notis to only show direct dependencies, or upstream/downstream services, based on your needs.
What if there are no dependencies?
Notis will note that the service has no dependencies, which is useful information too.
