Get up to speed on private issues

Start a private-team task with a clearer grasp of unfamiliar words in its description.

Trigger

Private Team Issue Created

Fires when a new issue appears in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).

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 new issue can arrive with team-specific wording that makes it harder to assess the task quickly.

  • Get a definition before unfamiliar wording becomes a blocker.
  • Make private issue handoffs easier to understand.
  • Reduce the need to interrupt a teammate for a basic term explanation.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and Dictionary api to Notis once through the portal, ensuring the Linear account can access the private team.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language to explain relevant terms in newly created private issues.
  • 3Write one prompt instruction asking for a definition and a concise explanation in the issue's context.
  • 4Select Private Team Issue Created and choose where to receive run reports.
  • 5Test using one real issue from a private team visible to the connected account.

Questions about this workflow

Will the trigger see every private team?

It sees issues visible to the connected Linear user's token.

What should the explanation include?
