Maintain a Device Log of All Team Feedback
Comments arrive in Linear, but your Bolt device logs them too -- feedback never falls through the cracks.
Trigger
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
Action
Bolt IoT Serial Write
Tool to send serial data to a bolt device. use when you need to transmit ascii data over uart after initializing uart with serialbegin.
Why this helps
Team feedback scattered across issue threads, Slack, and email. Later you can't find the context or decision logic.
- All team feedback consolidated in one device log
- Accessible offline if needed
- Searchable record of collaboration
- Reduces need to re-read same feedback multiple times
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Bolt iot to Notis (one-time setup).
- 2Ask Notis: 'When I receive a comment on a Linear issue, send it to my Bolt device's serial port' or create via Automations > New.
- 3Specify the device and confirm serial is initialized (e.g., 'send to my main Bolt device, UART 0').
- 4Choose a report channel for Notis summaries: Slack or email.
- 5Test by commenting on an issue you're assigned to and confirming the comment text appears in the device log.
Questions about this workflow
Do all comments sync, or just ones on my assigned issues?
You choose -- tell Notis to filter by assignee, project, label, or any combination. Start with 'all comments on my assigned issues' to avoid noise.
What format does the comment arrive in?
Plain text with the author and timestamp, e.g., '[Alice 14:23] We should ship this by Thursday'. Notis can adjust the format.
What if a comment is long or contains special characters?
Notis truncates to fit serial buffer (usually ~256 bytes) and sanitizes special characters automatically.
Can I also log issue changes, or just comments?
You can create separate automations for issue updates, label changes, priority shifts, etc. Start with comments and expand as needed.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Linear to Bolt iot. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Linear triggers
Bolt iot actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Analog Read
Tool to read the analog value from a specified pin on a bolt device. use when you need sensor readings (0–1023) after confirming the device is online.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Bolt IoT Digital Write
Tool to set a digital pin high or low on a specified bolt device. use when controlling actuators or leds via digital output.
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
Check Bolt device online status
Tool to check whether a specified bolt device is online. use when you need to verify device connectivity before sending commands (e.g., control signals). example: 'check if device bolt1234567 is online.'
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Bolt IoT Digital Write
Tool to set a digital pin high or low on a specified bolt device. use when controlling actuators or leds via digital output.
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Bolt IoT Serial Read
Tool to read incoming serial data from a bolt device. use when you've initialized uart with serialbegin and need to retrieve serial data.
Private Team Comment Created
Fires when a new comment is posted on an issue in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Bolt IoT Serial Write
Tool to send serial data to a bolt device. use when you need to transmit ascii data over uart after initializing uart with serialbegin.
Private Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue appears in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Bolt IoT Serial Write & Read
Tool to send serial data and read the response on a bolt device. use when you need to transmit ascii data over uart and capture its reply immediately.
Private Team Issue Properties Updated
Fires when properties on an issue change in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
