Turn Labels Into Focus Signals
Adding a priority label is a commitment to focus, but it passes silently. Notis marks the moment with a cat-based focus fact - making the intention real and triggering your attention network.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
Get Portals
Tool to list all portals. use when you need to browse portal metadata with pagination after authentication.
Why this helps
You label something as urgent but immediately forget it. The label exists in the system but not in your mind. Priority disappears and you work on whatever is visible.
- Align your attention with your labeled priorities
- Create external confirmation of focus decisions
- Reduce cognitive load of tracking priorities mentally
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Ensure Linear and Cats are integrated with your Notis account.
- 2Create an automation with trigger 'Issue Updated' filtered to label changes (or specific labels like 'urgent' or 'focus').
- 3Enter the instruction: 'When I add a priority label, fetch a focus-activating cat fact and send it to me immediately to sharpen my attention.'
- 4Set the notification to SMS for guaranteed interruption when you label something urgent.
- 5Test by labeling an issue as urgent or high-priority and verify the focus activation message arrives.
Questions about this workflow
Can I trigger this only for certain labels?
Yes. You can specify which labels trigger the automation - only 'urgent', or 'focus', or any custom labels you use.
What kind of content helps with focus?
Notis can deliver energizing cat facts, motivational quotes with cat imagery, or calming grounding facts depending on your focus style.
