Investigate technical blockers in project updates
Turn a concrete technical blocker in a project update into a focused repository investigation, with missing details called out clearly.
Trigger
Project Update Posted
Fires when a project status update is posted on the Linear project's Updates tab. Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token.
Action
Ask question
Ask any question about a GitHub repository and get an AI-powered, context-grounded response. Args: repoName: GitHub repository or list of repositories (max 10) in owner/repo format question: The question to ask about the repository
Why this helps
Project status updates can surface technical risks without giving the team an immediate path to investigate them.
- Follow up on technical blockers while the project update is fresh.
- Keep the question scoped to the stated concern and named repository.
- Make missing repository context visible in the report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Devin MCP once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
- 3Describe the outcome: for a posted update with a technical risk and named repository, ask Devin a question that investigates that risk.
- 4Pick the Linear Project Update Posted trigger, choose a run report destination, and test with one real project update.
Questions about this workflow
Does this assess every project status automatically?
It reacts to a posted project update. The prompt should ask Devin only about a concrete technical risk that the update describes.
Can it work without a repository name?
Not reliably. The workflow should report missing repository context instead of inventing a repository.
