Action

Why this helps

Project changes can be hard to interpret quickly when an unfamiliar status or planning term appears among other updates.

  • Get a plain-language definition near a project change.
  • Spend less time searching for planning vocabulary.
  • Move from update to next step with less reorientation.

  • 1Connect Linear and Dictionary api to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal, or tell Notis in plain language to explain unfamiliar project terms when properties change.
  • 3Use a single instruction asking for relevant definitions and an explanation based on the available project context.
  • 4Pick Project Properties Updated as the trigger and choose the run-report channel.
  • 5Test with one real project update that includes a term you want clarified.
