Notis

Give public-team reliability issues alert coverage

When a reliability issue is created, make it easier to catch a recurrence by asking Notis to create a relevant Datadog monitor.

Trigger

Public Team Issue Created

Fires when a new issue is created in a Linear *public* team. For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_ISSUE_CREATED`.

Action

Create monitor

Creates a new datadog monitor to track metrics, logs, or other data sources with configurable alerting thresholds and notifications.

Why this helps

A newly reported reliability defect can recur before anyone creates an alert to detect it.

  • Connect issue intake with ongoing detection.
  • Reduce reliance on someone remembering a separate monitor task.
  • Get confirmation of monitoring follow-through.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and Datadog to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create a named automation in Automations or ask Notis to set it up conversationally.
  • 3Write one plain-language instruction to create a Datadog monitor for a new public-team issue when it describes a recurring or production reliability risk.
  • 4Select Public Team Issue Created, set the run-report channel, and test using a real reliability issue.

Questions about this workflow

Will this apply to feature requests?

The prompt should restrict action to issues that describe a recurring or production reliability risk.

Why use the public-team trigger?

It fires for new issues in public Linear teams; use the private-team trigger for private team issues.
