Discuss updated issues with more confidence

Clarify what a newly introduced term means and how it is pronounced before your next issue conversation.

Trigger

Issue Updated Trigger

Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.

Action

Get Word Definition V2

Tool to retrieve definitions, phonetics, origin, and meanings of a given word using freedictionaryapi v2. use when you need comprehensive lexical data for a specific word.

Why this helps

A changed issue can add unfamiliar language right before a handoff or discussion, leaving little time to look it up.

  • Prepare for a handoff without a separate pronunciation search.
  • Understand the word and get phonetic guidance together.
  • Make verbal follow-up feel more straightforward.

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 in plain language to explain unfamiliar terms in updated issues.
  • 3Use one prompt to request a definition and returned phonetic information where available.
  • 4Select Issue Updated as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one real issue update that includes terminology you want to say aloud.

Questions about this workflow

Does every update produce a pronunciation cue?

Only when relevant unfamiliar vocabulary is present and pronunciation information is available from the Dictionary api response.

Can it explain meaning as well as pronunciation?

Yes. The action retrieves definitions and phonetics, and the prompt can ask Notis to present both concisely.
