Critical Issues Get Instant Device Alert
Critical issue created and your device alerts before you even see Linear. Critical work can't be missed.
Trigger
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Critical issues buried at creation. By the time you notice, timeline is compressed and stress compounds. Need unavoidable signal.
- Unavoidable signal when critical issue appears
- Immediate attention before stress builds
- Device alert more memorable than notification
- Critical work prioritized instantly
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Bolt iot to Notis (one-time setup).
- 2Ask Notis: 'When a new issue is created with critical priority, activate an alert on my Bolt device immediately' or use Automations > New.
- 3Specify device and action (e.g., 'pulse pin 2 rapidly on office device' for distinction from non-critical).
- 4Choose report channel: Slack, email, or app.
- 5Test by creating a critical-priority issue in Linear and confirming the device alert fires distinctly.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know if an issue is critical on creation?
Issues tagged with priority:Critical or created in a critical-issues project. You tell Notis what 'critical' means for your team.
Will this also trigger on non-critical issues if someone forgets the label?
No -- only issues created with critical priority trigger it. If someone mislabels, you can fix and the alert already went out (no re-trigger).
Can the critical alert look different from regular issue alerts?
Yes -- use a different pin, longer pulse, different pattern. Make critical unmistakable.
What if there are false positives (non-critical marked critical)?
You can pause the automation temporarily, or ask Notis to add confirmation (e.g., 'only if assignee is senior team member').

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).
