Never Hit a Hidden Blocker Again
Map all your hidden blockers and dependencies at a glance. See what's really on the critical path before you start the week.
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
Hidden dependencies blindside you mid-sprint. You don't realize something is blocking five downstream items until you're halfway through. Then you're juggling priorities in your head instead of shipping.
- Instant visibility into which tasks are on the critical path
- Spot cascade failures before they happen--unblock the right items first
- Plan task order with confidence instead of guessing
- Dependencies are always up-to-date as items change
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Codeinterpreter to Notis (portal integrations page).
- 2Create an automation named 'Dependency Visualizer.'
- 3In plain language, instruct Notis: 'When an issue is updated, check all its linked issues and relationships. Create a visual diagram showing which issues this item blocks and which items block it. Highlight items on the critical path (those with no blockers). Save the diagram as an image and post it as a comment on the issue.'
- 4Choose 'Issue Updated' as the trigger. Notis will generate diagrams whenever relationships change.
- 5Update an issue's dependencies and confirm the diagram appears within seconds.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which links are dependencies versus references?
Tell Notis which link types to treat as blockers or dependencies. For example, 'Blocks' and 'is Blocked By' links show critical path, while 'Related To' is just context.
Will this create a diagram every time an issue is updated?
You can refine it. For example, 'only generate a new diagram if the linked issues changed, not if someone updated the description.' This keeps noise down.

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).
