Move documented program follow-ups into CommCare
Let Notis carry a clear program follow-up from a Linear comment into your CommCare form workflow.
Trigger
Public Team Comment Created
Fires when a new comment is posted on a *public-team* Linear issue. For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_COMMENT_CREATED`.
Action
Submit Form to CommCare
Tool to submit an XForm to CommCare following the OpenRosa standard. Use when you need to submit form data with complete XML including required metadata fields (deviceID, timeStart, timeEnd, username, userID, instanceID).
Why this helps
A useful follow-up in an issue discussion can be overlooked when it still needs a separate program record.
- Reduce manual copying of agreed follow-up details.
- Keep program actions in the existing form process.
- Use run reports to catch incomplete submissions.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and CommCare to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Write one plain-language prompt asking Notis to submit the relevant CommCare follow-up form when a public-team comment records an eligible program action.
- 4Choose the Linear Public Team Comment Created trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real comment and review the CommCare submission.
