Get Visual Alerts for Critical Issues
When an issue becomes critical in Linear, your Bolt device lights up. Stay aware without the noise.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
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 in notifications go unnoticed, while constant alerts cause decision fatigue and context-switching anxiety.
- Visual cue cuts through notification fatigue
- Instant awareness without opening Linear
- Reduces task-prioritization decision load
- Keeps focus on current work until signal changes
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Linear workspace and Bolt iot account to Notis in the portal (one-time setup).
- 2Ask Notis: 'When a Linear issue priority changes to critical, turn on my Bolt device LED' or create this automation via Automations > New.
- 3Choose where Notis sends run reports: Slack, Telegram, or email.
- 4Select the trigger: Issue Updated (priority changed to Critical).
- 5Test by creating a critical-priority issue in Linear and confirming the LED activates on your device.
Questions about this workflow
Will this trigger on every issue priority change?
Only when the priority is set to Critical. You can refine further by specifying a project or team if you want even more control.
Can I change which device LED activates?
Yes -- your plain-language instruction to Notis can name a specific device or pin. If you say 'my office LED' and Notis knows that device, it will use that one.
What if multiple issues become critical?
Each one will activate the LED. For batching, consider a separate automation with a webhook trigger and a daily digest instead.
Can I use a different device action, like a buzzer?
Absolutely. Just ask Notis to use a different Bolt action -- serial write, relay control, etc.

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.
