Decisions Stop Stalling - Auto-Generate Call Types
Issue hits decision-needed status? A phone call event type for that decision is already in Cal. No lag. Just call and decide.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
Create phone call for event type
Creates a phone call template associated with an existing event type and team, for defining reusable call configurations like numbers and scripts; note this does not initiate an actual call.
Why this helps
Issues marked decision-needed sit waiting for you to manually set up a call type. Decision windows close. Stakeholders lose momentum.
- Call event types are ready for decision-makers to book immediately, eliminating scheduling delays
- Decisions move from stalled to resolved in hours instead of days
- Decision-needed becomes a real signal, not a label that disappears in noise
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Cal integrations
- 2Tell Notis: 'When an issue is labeled decision-needed or status changes to decision-needed, create a phone call event type in Cal'
- 3Specify who should be invited (team members, execs, specific roles)
- 4Set the trigger to Linear Issue Updated
- 5Test by labeling or status-changing an issue to decision-needed and verify the Cal event type appears ready to book
Questions about this workflow
Who gets invited to the decision call type?
You decide. Tell Notis: 'Add the team lead and the product owner' or 'Just me and the requester'.
Can I track which decisions are still pending?
The Cal event type exists until you book and complete the call. Unboked types are your pending-decision queue.
What if the decision gets made async?
Manually delete or archive the call type. Notis won't auto-cleanup based on Linear status changes in this workflow.
