Visual Confirmation When Tasks Complete
Mark an issue Done in Linear, and your device LED goes dark. You've completed that work -- the light agrees.
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
Completed work still shows as 'active' on devices, creating visual clutter and decision fatigue about what's still in flight.
- Completes are immediately visible on device
- Reduces cognitive load from 'what's still active?'
- Provides satisfying closure signal
- Device state always matches issue state
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Bolt iot to Notis (one-time setup).
- 2Ask Notis: 'When a Linear issue is marked Done, turn off the LED on my Bolt device' or create via Automations > New.
- 3Specify which device and pin (e.g., 'pin 2 on my office device').
- 4Choose your report channel: Slack, email, or app.
- 5Test by marking an issue Done in Linear and confirming the LED turns off on the device.
Questions about this workflow
Will this affect other active LEDs on the device?
Only the specific pin you named. Other automations and manual controls can keep other pins active.
What if I mark an issue Done then re-open it?
Notis re-triggers, turning the LED back on. Device state stays in sync.
Can I use this for multiple projects?
Yes -- one automation covers all issues. If you want different behavior per project (different LED), create separate automations.
What if I want a different signal for completion, like a short beep?
Tell Notis to use a different action -- serial write to trigger a buzzer, or relay control. Anything your device supports.

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).
