Why this helps
Competitor research requires jumping between search tools and documentation sites, breaking focus and creating cognitive load for each competitive threat.
- Reduces context-switching to external research tools
- Competitive intelligence arrives without manual effort
- Centralized competitive data in Linear issues
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Linear and Brightdata accounts to Notis (one-time setup in the Notis portal).
- 2Create a new automation and use this prompt: 'When a new issue is created with competitor in the title or labels, run a SERP search for their company name and industry.'
- 3Select Issue Created as your trigger and confirm it applies to issues in your team.
- 4Choose your notification channel (Slack, email, or Telegram) to receive run reports.
- 5Test by creating a competitor issue and verify search results arrive in the issue thread.
Questions about this workflow
Will this search for every issue or just competitor ones?
The plain-language prompt filters to issues labeled or named with 'competitor.' Notis learns your intention, so you can refine it conversationally if needed.
Can I customize what competitor data gets captured?
Yes, adjust the prompt to specify what matters (pricing, leadership changes, job listings, etc.). Notis will search for those specific signals.
Where do the search results appear?
Results are added as a comment on the Linear issue, keeping everything in context without tab-switching.
