Turn New Tasks Into Motivation Moments
Every new idea deserves a win. When you create an issue in Linear, Notis instantly fetches a fun cat fact to celebrate the act of capture itself - reinforcing the behavior of getting things out of your head and into your system.
Trigger
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Action
Get Portals
Tool to list all portals. use when you need to browse portal metadata with pagination after authentication.
Why this helps
New tasks trigger anxiety, not clarity. You create an issue then immediately forget why it mattered. Context and momentum are lost before you even start.
- Celebrate the capture, not just the completion
- Automatic mood lift at the start of focused work
- Creates a positive association with the planning process
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Linear and Cats accounts in Notis once from the portal.
- 2Open Automations and create a new workflow with trigger set to 'Issue Created'.
- 3Enter the plain-language prompt: 'When a new issue is created, fetch a random cat fact and share it to celebrate capturing a new idea.'
- 4Choose your notification channel (Slack, email, or Notis dashboard) to receive the fact.
- 5Test by creating one new issue in Linear and confirm the cat fact arrives within seconds.
Questions about this workflow
Will this slow down my issue creation?
No - the automation runs in the background after you create the issue. It doesn't interfere with your workflow.
Can I change the type of facts I receive?
Yes. In the prompt, you can specify fun facts, breed facts, or random cat images instead - Notis adapts to your preference.
