Generate Working Documents When Issues Move to In Progress
Get a working document the moment you start an issue, so your approach and reasoning are documented as you work.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
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 you start working on an issue, you need a place to capture your approach and sub-steps. Without automatic document creation, your working context lives only in your head or scattered across random notes.
- Automatic working document creation on status change
- Provides dedicated space for approach and sub-steps
- Reduces working memory load
- Creates documentation artifact as you work
- Enables easy handoff if interrupted
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Cody to Notis
- 2Create a new automation and select 'Issue Updated' as your trigger
- 3Write your instruction: 'When an issue status changes to In Progress, create a Cody document with the issue title, description, and a template for approach notes, sub-steps, and blockers.'
- 4Choose your notification channel
- 5Test by moving an issue to In Progress in Linear and checking for the new document in Cody
Questions about this workflow
Will the document include the full issue details?
Yes. It will include the issue title, description, and labels so you have all context in one place without switching back to Linear.
What if I move an issue back to the backlog?
The document stays in Cody as a record of your work. You can archive or delete it manually if needed.
