Notis

Request a definition from your own workflow

Send a word from a Linear workflow to Notis and get its meaning without building a separate lookup step.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

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 custom process can capture unfamiliar vocabulary but leave you to stop and search for its meaning manually.

  • Add a definition step to a custom workflow.
  • Make terminology clarification available when a backend detects a word.
  • Return a concise meaning without sending the user to another tool.

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 define a word received from a custom request.
  • 3Write one prompt instruction asking for the supplied term's definition and a short explanation using available Linear context.
  • 4Select an incoming Notis webhook as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test by sending one real Linear term through the connected webhook.
