Comments automatically become tracked Box tasks
Someone comments with an action item. Notis creates a Box task instantly - no manual transcription needed.
Trigger
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).
Action
Create task
Creates a single task on a file. this task is not assigned to any user and will need to be assigned separately.
Why this helps
Important comments are overlooked and become forgotten action items.
- Action items surface automatically
- Nothing gets lost in discussion threads
- Work is tracked and visible
- Reduces cognitive load of remembering items
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Box to Notis.
- 2Ask Notis 'Turn private team comments into Box tasks, but only when they mention action items' or set up in the portal.
- 3Define action item signals: 'Look for comments starting with TODO or containing keywords like needs, implement, review.'
- 4Select 'Private Team Comment Created' as your trigger.
- 5Test by posting a comment with an action item and verify the Box task appears.
Questions about this workflow
How do I signal that a comment should become a task?
Use keywords like TODO, TASK, ACTION, or a specific format. Tell Notis what signals you use.
Should all comments become tasks, or only specific ones?
Filter them - most teams want only comments clearly describing action items to become tasks.
Who should the task be assigned to?
Notis can assign to the commenter, the issue owner, or a specific person. Your call.
