Why this helps
Issues get marked blocked but sit idle because the blocker owner doesn't know there's a problem, causing delays to compound and work to stall.
- Ensure blockers get immediate attention instead of languishing
- Accelerate resolution by pulling the right people into a structured conversation
- Reduce anxiety from blocked work by creating a resolution pathway immediately
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Calendarhero to Notis via the portal.
- 2Go to Automations > New Automation and name it 'Unblock meeting for blocked issues'.
- 3Enter this prompt: 'When an issue is marked as blocked in Linear, automatically schedule a 30-minute meeting with the assignee, issue creator, and the owner of the blocking dependency to identify and resolve the blocker.'
- 4Select trigger: Issue Updated (status changes to blocked).
- 5Choose your team Slack channel for run reports and test by marking an issue as blocked.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know who owns the blocking dependency?
You can specify this in your prompt like 'invite whoever is responsible for the [dependency name]' or Notis can send an invite to a team channel.
What if the blocker can't be resolved immediately?
The meeting is still valuable for planning a path forward. You can specify 'schedule for next available slot' to allow more time for coordination.
