Trigger

Action

User Agent Parser API

Tool to parse a user-agent string into device, os, browser, and bot details. use when you have a raw user-agent header and need structured client info.

Why this helps

Support escalation requires manual device lookup. Founder doesn't know if it's a Chrome mobile issue or a Safari desktop bug without context-switching.

  • Instantly identify device, OS, and browser from user agent string
  • Route bugs to the right engineering team without asking the customer
  • Speed up support triage by detecting bot traffic automatically
  • Reduce back-and-forth with customers about their device setup

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect your Linear public team workspace and Big Data Cloud parser to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation: 'When a support comment includes a user agent string, parse it and add the device, OS, and browser details to the issue.'
  • 3Select 'Public Team Comment Created' as your trigger.
  • 4Set Notis to report parsed info as a follow-up comment in Linear.
  • 5Test by commenting on a support issue with a real user agent string (from your browser console) and watch Notis parse it instantly.

Questions about this workflow

Where do customers get their user agent string?

They can open their browser's developer console (F12), run navigator.userAgent in the console, and paste the output. Instruct them in your support template.

Can this identify bot traffic?

Yes. Notis flags if it's a bot, crawler, or human browser. Helps you spot malicious scrapers in support tickets.

Does this work for all browsers?

Yes. Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, and even older/niche browsers. The parser handles standard and custom user agent formats.
