Verify Contacts Before You Follow Up
Team members mention contacts in Linear comments that might not exist in Brevo - leading to failed follow-ups and confusion. This automation verifies contact existence instantly.
Trigger
Public Team Comment Created
Fires when a new comment is posted on a *public-team* Linear issue. For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_COMMENT_CREATED`.
Action
Find Contact
This tool checks if a contact exists in brevo. it searches for a contact using either an email address or mobile number, with the email being prioritized if both are provided.
Why this helps
Contacts mentioned in team discussions might not be in Brevo yet, causing broken follow-up chains and wasted time trying to reach people who don't exist in the system.
- Catch non-existent contacts before follow-up attempts
- Prevent failed emails or missing communication
- Team knows immediately if a contact needs to be added
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Brevo integrations
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a team comment mentions a contact, verify if that person exists in Brevo'
- 3Set trigger to 'Public Team Comment Created'
- 4Choose where Notis reports the verification result
- 5Test by having a teammate comment on a Linear issue with a contact name - Notis reports whether they're in Brevo
Questions about this workflow
What if the contact exists but with a different spelling?
Notis can do fuzzy matching and flag close matches so you can confirm before taking action.
Can this add missing contacts automatically?
Notis can flag missing contacts and suggest creation, but you control whether contacts are added to Brevo.
Does this work for email addresses too?
Yes - Notis can verify by name, email address, or phone number.
