Historical Rate Context for Retrospective Analysis

Understanding what a cost really was means knowing the rates that applied when it happened. Notis fetches historical rates automatically when you create analysis issues.

Trigger

Issue Created Trigger

Triggered when a new issue is created.

Action

Get Historical Exchange Rates

Tool to retrieve historical exchange rate data for past dates going back to 1996. Use when you need to access exchange rates for a specific historical date with a base currency.

Why this helps

Creating cost analysis or retrospective financial review issues requires manually gathering historical rates from a specific date. This tedious research delays analysis and introduces transcription errors.

  • Rates delivered automatically
  • Analysis ready immediately
  • Accurate historical context
  • No research delays

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and CurrencyScoop to Notis in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation: 'When a new issue is created in Linear with retrospective, review, or historical in the title, fetch historical exchange rates for the date range specified in the issue description using CurrencyScoop.'
  • 3Select Issue Created as your trigger and choose your notification channel.
  • 4Test by creating an issue like 'Q3 Cost Analysis - Sept 1-30, 2024' and verify historical rates appear.
  • 5Enable the automation and historical rate context will be provided automatically for every cost review issue.
