Why this helps

Critical work arrives unannounced and gets squeezed into a full calendar, forcing multitasking or delayed response that compounds the urgency.

  • Prevent urgent work from being deferred due to a packed calendar
  • Create guaranteed focus time for incoming critical issues
  • Eliminate anxiety about high-priority items by ensuring response time is already allocated

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 'Protect time for high-priority issues'.
  • 3Enter this prompt: 'When a high-priority issue is created in Linear, automatically block 90 minutes on my calendar within the next 2 hours, labeled as Focus Time for Urgent Work.'
  • 4Select trigger: Issue Created (filter for high-priority if available).
  • 5Choose your team Slack channel for run reports and test by creating a high-priority issue.

Questions about this workflow

What if my calendar is already full at that time?

Notis will find the next available 90-minute block, or you can specify 'find the earliest slot in the next 4 hours' in your prompt.

Can I distinguish between different types of urgent work?

Yes, specify different responses by priority level like 'block 90 minutes for P0, 45 minutes for P1.'
