Catch Urgent Work Before It Breaks
Critical work finds you immediately, not after it becomes a crisis. Never miss an urgent issue again.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
Execute Code
Execute python code in a sandbox and return any result, stdout, stderr, and error. use /home/user folder to write/read files. try to not use plt.show() as the code is executed remotely. use files for image/chart output instead.
Why this helps
Critical items slip through without notice. You don't realize something is urgent until it's already cascading failures. By then, context-switching to fix it costs hours.
- React to urgent work in minutes, not hours
- Prevent cascade failures by catching blockers early
- Fewer surprises means more predictable days
- Urgent work gets the right attention at the right time
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear to Notis (integrations).
- 2Create an automation named 'Urgent Issue Alert.'
- 3In plain language, write: 'When an issue is updated, check if the priority changed to Urgent or High, or if the title or description contains urgent keywords (Blocker, Critical, ASAP, Today, Down). If so, send an immediate alert to [your Slack/email/Telegram] with the issue title, reason it's urgent, and a direct link. Do not alert for low or medium priority changes.'
- 4Choose 'Issue Updated' as the trigger.
- 5Test by marking an issue as Urgent--you should get an alert within seconds.
Questions about this workflow
Won't this create too many alerts?
It only alerts on true urgency: priority high/urgent, or explicit keywords. Normal updates are ignored. If it's too noisy, tell Notis to skip certain label combinations.
Can I customize what counts as urgent?
Yes. Tell Notis your own urgency rules. For example, 'anything assigned to me AND marked urgent' or 'only production bugs.'

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Linear to Codeinterpreter. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Linear triggers
Codeinterpreter actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Sandbox
Create a sandbox to execute python code in a jupyter notebook cell. this is useful for agents to communicate, execute code, see output, read files, write files, etc. it's like you own personal computer, but in the cloud. use /home/user folder to write/read files.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Execute Code
Execute python code in a sandbox and return any result, stdout, stderr, and error. use /home/user folder to write/read files. try to not use plt.show() as the code is executed remotely. use files for image/chart output instead.
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
Get File
Get a file from the sandbox and returns the file. the files should be read from /home/user folder.
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Run Terminal Command
Run a command in the terminal and returns the stdout, stderr, and error code. use /home/user folder to write/read files.
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Upload File
Upload a file to the sandbox environment. the files should be uploaded to the /home/user folder.
Private Team Comment Created
Fires when a new comment is posted on an issue in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Private Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue appears in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Private Team Issue Properties Updated
Fires when properties on an issue change in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
