Start public-team issues with clearer context

Get the words that matter explained before a new issue turns into a detour through search tabs.

Trigger

Public Team Issue Created

Fires when a new issue is created in a Linear *public* team. For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_ISSUE_CREATED`.

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

New issues often land while you are focused elsewhere, and unfamiliar vocabulary adds another step before triage.

  • Reduce the effort of triaging language-heavy issues.
  • Understand a new request before choosing a next step.
  • Keep your attention on the issue instead of a separate lookup.

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 new public-team issues.
  • 3Use one instruction requesting relevant definitions and a concise explanation tied to the issue.
  • 4Select Public Team Issue Created and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one real issue from a public Linear team.
