Why this helps
A ready issue can sit idle when starting CI depends on another manual reminder.
- Tie build kickoff to the team's existing readiness signal.
- Reduce repeated checks for work that is ready to start.
- Keep build initiation consistent across issues.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and CircleCI to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction to start the relevant CircleCI pipeline when an issue is updated to your ready state.
- 4Select the Linear Issue Updated trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real issue moved to ready.
Questions about this workflow
Can the instruction describe a specific ready state?
Yes. Describe the state in the plain-language prompt so Notis knows which updates should start a run.
Will the automation configure CircleCI?
It requests a pipeline run for the relevant project and branch through CircleCI.
