- Keep the explanation connected to the comment that introduced it.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Dictionary api to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally to clarify unfamiliar comment terms and include origin when useful.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction asking for a definition plus a brief, relevant origin note when available.
- 4Choose Comment Received as the trigger and select a run-report channel.
- 5Test with one real comment containing a word whose history you want to explore.
Questions about this workflow
Is word origin available for every word?
Dictionary api may return origin data when available. Ask Notis to leave it out when the response does not include useful origin information.
Will every comment receive a long history?
Keep the prompt focused on unfamiliar terms and request only a brief origin note when it helps.
