Find troubleshooting docs for blocked issues
When a Linear issue is updated to blocked and its text names a library and error, Notis looks up current troubleshooting guidance in Context7.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggers when an issue is updated, such as when its labels or status change.
Action
Query-docs
Retrieve current documentation and code examples for a programming library or framework.
Why this helps
A blocker often lacks a clear next diagnostic step, especially when the error came from a dependency.
- Surfaces documented diagnostics at the moment an issue stalls
- Keeps unsupported guesses out of the run report
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Context7 MCP to Notis in the portal once.
- 2Ask Notis to create an automation, or open Automations → New Automation in the portal.
- 3In one plain-language prompt, say: On a Linear issue update to blocked, only if the issue names a library and specific error or failing behavior, resolve its Context7 ID unless explicitly provided, query troubleshooting docs, and report documented diagnostic steps with citations; otherwise say what information is missing.
- 4Select the Linear trigger, choose a channel for run reports, and create it.
- 5Test by marking one sufficiently detailed issue blocked.
Questions about this workflow
Can it diagnose an error without a named library?
No. The run needs a named library and a specific error or failing behavior; otherwise it should request those details.
