Never Let an Action Item Slip Again
Every action item mentioned in a comment automatically becomes a task. Nothing slips. Nothing is forgotten.
Trigger
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
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
Action items buried in comment threads get lost. A decision is made in a discussion, but no one creates a task, so it silently doesn't happen. Work slips through cracks because you relied on memory instead of structure.
- Action items are captured instantly--no manual task creation friction
- Less reliance on memory--the system is external and reliable
- Nothing gets lost in threads because items become visible tasks
- Assignees get a task notification so they're aware immediately
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear to Notis (integrations page).
- 2Create an automation named 'Action Item Extractor.'
- 3In plain language, write: 'When a comment is posted, look for action items. An action item is a sentence with an imperative verb (fix, update, review, test, deploy, send) OR an @mention with a task-like phrase. Extract each action item. If it's assigned (@alice review this), create a new Linear issue assigned to that person. If unassigned, create it unassigned but tag it from-comment and link to the original comment. Title should be the action (e.g., Review PR for feature X). Add low priority by default.'
- 4Choose 'Comment Received' as the trigger.
- 5Post a comment with clear action items (e.g., '@bob test the new build' and 'update the README'). Notis should create tasks within seconds.
Questions about this workflow
What if a comment has a suggestion that isn't really an action?
Notis uses keyword heuristics. If it over-creates tasks, tell it to ignore certain phrases like 'we should' or 'consider.' You can refine the rules.
Can I set different defaults for different types of action items?
Yes--tell Notis to tag 'bug fix' items with 'type:bug' and 'docs' items with 'type:documentation.' You control the template.

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).
