Why this helps
Tracking competitors manually means checking news feeds, forgetting to update issues, and losing track of when information becomes stale. Decision paralysis from incomplete intel.
- Keeps competitive intel fresh in one place
- Eliminates manual news-checking workflows
- Centralizes all competitor data in Linear for easy reference
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Currents API to Notis once in your portal settings.
- 2Create an automation with the plain-language prompt: 'When a competitor tracking issue is updated, fetch the latest news about that competitor.'
- 3Select the trigger: Issue Updated.
- 4Pick Slack or email as your notification channel.
- 5Add a test update to a competitor issue and confirm news articles arrive in your channel within moments.
Questions about this workflow
Does this only work for competitor issues?
You can use this for any market segment -- just name it that way in your issue labels or title.
