Urgent Issues Trigger Instant Voice Alerts
Urgent problems shouldn't wait for someone to notice a Slack message. When you flag an issue as urgent in Linear, the relevant team member gets an immediate voice call from your agent.
Trigger
Public Team Issue Properties Updated
Fires when properties on a *public-team* Linear issue change (status, assignee, priority, labels, etc.). For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_ISSUE_PROPERTIES_UPDATED`.
Action
Make a phone call from agent
Initiate calls
Why this helps
Critical issues get lost in message fatigue. Slack warnings pile up; people miss them. By the time someone notices, hours have passed.
- Urgent items get instant voice attention instead of drowning in chat
- Your team stays aware of blockers without notification overload
- Context is delivered verbally - no misunderstandings from reading alone
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 11. Ensure Linear and Bolna are connected to Notis (one-time integration setup in the portal).
- 22. In the Notis portal or by messaging Notis, create an automation: 'When I mark an issue urgent, call [team member] with the issue details.'
- 33. Set the trigger to 'Issue properties updated' (Linear's urgent label change).
- 44. Choose Slack or email as the channel where Notis reports each automation run.
- 55. Test by marking a real issue as urgent and listen for the outbound call to the recipient.
Questions about this workflow
Can I target specific team members or just call one person?
You can call one person or tell Notis to call multiple people. Say: 'Call the issue assignee and the project lead' - Notis handles the routing.
What if the issue is marked urgent by mistake?
Notis will already have initiated the call. You can tell Notis to add a delay or approval step: 'Wait 60 seconds before calling, so I can cancel if it was a mistake.'
Does the agent know why it's calling?
Yes. Tell Notis to include the issue title, description, and assignee in the call script so the agent has full context.
