Create research collections from Linear requests

Give a clearly scoped eBay research batch a home as soon as its Linear request arrives.

Trigger

Issue Created Trigger

Triggered when a new issue is created.

Action

Create a new collection

Tool to create a new collection. Use when you need to batch and orchestrate multiple requests on a schedule.

Why this helps

A useful research request can stall while someone has to switch tools and set up a collection from scratch.

  • Turns a specific batch request into a collection setup step.
  • Keeps the intended research scope close to the originating issue.
  • Creates a container for orchestrating multiple scheduled requests.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and Countdown api to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally to create a collection for explicitly approved batch requests.
  • 3Write one plain-language instruction describing when to create a collection and how to use the issue context to name and configure it.
  • 4Pick the Linear Issue Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one real issue that clearly asks for a new research collection.

Questions about this workflow

Will it add requests to the collection?

This workflow creates a collection. Adding requests is not part of the selected action.

Should every research issue create a collection?

Set the instruction to respond only to an issue that clearly requests a new batch, so a general research question does not create unnecessary collections.
