Blockers Documented Permanently
Issue marked Blocked with context? Transcribed automatically. Everyone knows why work stopped.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
Order Transcript
Tool to create a new transcription order for audio/video at a url. use when you have an accessible media url and need to initiate transcription.
Why this helps
Issues are marked Blocked but the audio explanation of the blocker never gets documented, leaving context unclear.
- Transparent blocker explanations for team
- Permanent documentation of why work stopped
- Enable faster unblocking with clear context
- Reduce status meetings to clarify blockers
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 11. Connect Linear and Castingwords to Notis
- 22. Create automation: 'Transcribe issues when status is changed to Blocked'
- 33. Select Issue Updated as the trigger (status change)
- 44. Specify 'Blocked' as the target status
- 55. Test by marking an issue Blocked and verifying transcription order appears
Questions about this workflow
Does this only work for 'Blocked' status?
You can set it up for any status--'In Review', 'Waiting', 'Paused', etc. Copy the automation and adjust.
What if there's no audio on the blocked issue?
Notis checks for media. If none exists, no transcription order. No wasted credits.
Can transcripts be posted back in the issue?
Transcripts go to your notification channel. Set up a second automation to post them back to the issue if desired.
