Evaluate Feature Requests in Scheduled Meetings, Not Comment Chaos
Feature requests arrive in Linear without any discussion of whether they should be built. Founder adds them to the backlog, never evaluates them, backlog grows infinitely. Notis watches for new feature requests and blocks time for evaluation meetings.
Trigger
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Action
Create One-Off Event Type
Creates a temporary calendly one-off event type for unique meetings outside regular availability, requiring valid host/co-host uris, a future date/range for `date setting`, and a positive `duration`.
Why this helps
Feature requests accumulate without evaluation. Founder never prioritizes. Backlog becomes a junk drawer. Team doesn't know what matters most.
- Each feature request gets a structured evaluation instead of piling up indefinitely
- Product prioritization happens proactively instead of reactively
- Team knows which features are actually on the roadmap
- Prevents infinite backlog syndrome and enables better focus
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Calendly to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a new issue labeled feature-request is created, block 30 minutes for feature evaluation.'
- 3Select 'Issue Created' as the trigger.
- 4Test by creating a feature request issue.
Questions about this workflow
Should the feature requester be invited to the evaluation meeting?
Usually no--the founder evaluates internally. Add 'invite the issue creator' if you want customer input in decisions.
Could I batch feature evaluations instead of doing them individually?
Yes. Modify the automation: 'On Friday afternoon, schedule a 2-hour feature review meeting for all requests from this week.'
