Why this helps
Switching between Linear and your browser feels effortful; research sessions often start late or get forgotten
- Eliminates manual setup when research is needed
- Keeps your research organized per issue
- Reduces cognitive load before starting work
- Creates a consistent research workflow
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear to Notis in the portal (one-time setup)
- 2Connect Browserbase tool to Notis in the portal (one-time setup)
- 3Create a new automation in Notis: Name it 'Auto-research on new issues', set the prompt to 'When a new Linear issue is created, automatically create a Browserbase session ready for research'
- 4Choose 'Issue Created' as your trigger from the Linear integration
- 5Select a Slack or email channel where Notis will notify you when a session starts, then test by creating a new Linear issue
Questions about this workflow
Will this create a session for every issue, even if I don't need research?
Yes, initially. You can refine the automation later by asking Notis to 'only create sessions for issues with a research label' or specific teams, reducing unnecessary sessions.
What happens to the browser session if I don't use it?
Sessions remain available for 48 hours. You can access them at any time, or ask Notis to auto-close unused sessions after a specific period.
Can I add specific instructions for the research session?
Yes. Update the automation prompt to include instructions like 'create a session for competitor analysis' or 'set up for API documentation research'.
