Route Issue Discussions to Chat Instantly
Issue comments are often the fastest way to resolve problems. Notis opens a chat the moment someone comments, so your team reacts fast.
Trigger
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
Action
Livechat open
Tool to show the live chat window. use after the widget has been bootstrapped with botstarapi('boot') to programmatically open the chat window (mode must be 'livechat' or 'popup').
Why this helps
Missing important comments on collaborative issues; context-switching cost to check Linear; response delays on time-sensitive discussion.
- Instant awareness of new issue comments
- Keep collaboration in chat instead of switching apps
- Faster response to customer feedback
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Botstar to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When someone comments on an open issue, open a chat window and include the comment text'.
- 3Select 'Comment Received' as your trigger.
- 4Route notifications to your support or collaboration channel.
- 5Test by commenting on an issue and verifying the chat opens with the comment context.
Questions about this workflow
Can I filter which comments trigger a chat?
Yes. Say: 'Only escalate comments from customers (not internal team)' or 'Only comments on bug or urgent issues.'
What if someone comments multiple times quickly?
Notis batches rapid comments intelligently so you don't get flooded. Significant discussion threads trigger once.
