Answer API questions raised in issue comments
When a Linear comment asks a concrete library API question, Notis retrieves current Context7 documentation and reports the relevant answer without interrupting the issue thread.
Trigger
Comment Received Trigger
Triggers when a new comment is received.
Action
Query-docs
Retrieve current documentation and code examples for a programming library or framework.
Why this helps
API questions buried in comments require another round of tab switching.
- Turns a specific comment into a current-docs answer
- Avoids responding to unrelated discussion
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: When a new Linear issue comment asks a specific question about a named library API, resolve its Context7 ID unless an exact ID is supplied, query docs for that API behavior, and report the answer with source references; ignore ordinary comments.
- 4Select the Linear trigger, choose a channel for run reports, and create it.
- 5Test with a real comment that names the library and API question.
Questions about this workflow
Will every comment trigger a documentation query?
No. The plain-language instruction filters for comments that actually ask a specific question about a named library API.
