Automatically Document Blockers When Issues Get Stuck
The moment an issue gets blocked, create a Cody document to track the blocker, dependencies, and unblock strategy.
Trigger
Public Team Issue Properties Updated
Fires when properties on a *public-team* Linear issue change (status, assignee, priority, labels, etc.). For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_ISSUE_PROPERTIES_UPDATED`.
Action
Create Document
Tool to create a new document with text or HTML content in Cody AI. Use when you need to add documents to Cody's knowledge base with up to 768 KB of content.
Why this helps
When an issue gets blocked, it's easy to forget about it. Without a dedicated tracking system, blocked items fade from view and may never get unblocked.
- Automatic blocker capture when issues are labeled
- Tracks blocking dependencies
- Prevents forgotten blocked items
- Creates visibility for stuck work
- Documents unblock conditions
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Cody to Notis
- 2Create a new automation selecting 'Issue Properties Updated' as the trigger
- 3Write your instruction: 'When an issue gets labeled as blocked, create a Cody document with the issue title, the blocker description, dependencies, and what would unblock it.'
- 4Select your notification channel
- 5Test by labeling an issue as blocked in Linear and confirming the blocker document appears in Cody
Questions about this workflow
Will this trigger only on the 'blocked' label?
Yes, you can specify which label triggers this. You can also add multiple variations like 'blocked', 'waiting', 'stuck'.
Can I track who is responsible for unblocking?
Yes. Include that in your prompt: 'track who is responsible for unblocking and when they were notified'.
