Support Caller Timezone Auto-Detection

Stop manually asking "what timezone are you in?". When a support ticket lands, instantly know when your customer is actually available.

Trigger

Issue Created Trigger

Triggered when a new issue is created.

Action

Time Zone by IP Address API

Tool to retrieve time zone information for a given ip address. use when you need dst status, utc offsets, and local/utc time for a specific ip.

Why this helps

Context-switching between Linear and timezone lookups loses callbacks. Guessing timezones leads to missed support handoffs and frustrated customers.

  • Schedule callbacks at customer's local business hours automatically
  • Eliminate timezone guessing and miscommunication
  • Reduce manual context-switching between tools
  • Never miss a support callback due to timezone confusion

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect your Linear workspace and Big Data Cloud integration to Notis (one-time setup in the Notis portal).
  • 2Create a new automation in Notis portal: ask Notis 'When a new support issue appears, get the caller's timezone from their IP and add it to the issue'.
  • 3Select 'Issue Created' as the trigger from your Linear workspace.
  • 4Choose a Notis channel (Slack, email, or webhook) where automation runs will be reported.
  • 5Test by creating a real support issue and verify the timezone appears in the issue details.

Questions about this workflow

How does Notis know the customer's IP if it's not in the issue title?

You mention the caller's IP (or it gets passed as metadata) in the issue context. Notis asks Big Data Cloud to map that IP to timezone automatically.

What if we don't have the customer's IP captured?

Modify the automation to work with coordinates instead: 'If coordinates are mentioned, get the timezone.' Or train your team to paste the IP in the issue for critical support cases.

Does this work for international teams?

Yes. Every IP has a timezone attached. Notis works for any support issue where caller location data (IP or coordinates) is available.
