Catch Blocking Issues Before They Stop the Team
The moment an issue becomes a blocker, Notis sends an alert to your bot so you can prioritize unblocking

Why this helps
You don't realize something is blocking teammates until projects slow down - delayed feedback costs everyone time
- Catch blockers early
- Protect team velocity
- Faster problem-solving
- Better collaboration
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Chatbotkit to Notis
- 2Create an automation: 'When an issue is marked as a blocker or gets the blocked label, send an urgent alert to my Chatbotkit bot with the issue details and who it is blocking'
- 3Choose 'Issue Updated' as the trigger
- 4Select your notification channel
- 5Mark an issue as blocking in Linear and confirm the alert appears in your bot
Questions about this workflow
How does it know what is blocked?
Tell Notis your blocking system - whether you use labels, status, linked issues, or custom fields
Can it escalate if a blocker is not resolved?
You can set up a separate cron automation for that - ask Notis to remind you about unresolved blockers daily
Should this alert my whole team or just me?
Yes - you can set it to a team channel or configure it per team
