Action
Update Character Backstory
Tool to update a character's backstory. Use when you need to modify the backstory of an existing character after confirming its ID. Only the provided fields will be updated.
Why this helps
Character background can fall behind when product plans shift in issue tracking.
- Keep character background aligned with relevant product changes.
- Avoid rediscovering context during later edits.
- Make ownership and source context easier to trace.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Convolo ai to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to update the identified character's backstory when a Linear issue update contains a meaningful product-context change.
- 4Choose the Linear issue-updated trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real context update and review the backstory.
