Trigger
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Action
Create New Firewall
Tool to create a new firewall. use when you need to define a firewall name and custom rules (requires at least one inbound and one outbound rule).
Why this helps
Firewall setup demands care, and incomplete requests can trigger distracting clarification loops.
- Keeps approved security work tied to its original request.
- Prompts for complete rule details in the issue instruction.
- Reduces repetitive copying during firewall setup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and DigitalOcean to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally to create firewalls for approved security issues.
- 3Describe in one plain-language instruction how to identify approval and use the confirmed firewall rules.
- 4Pick the Linear Issue Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one approved issue that includes a firewall name and at least one inbound and outbound rule.
Questions about this workflow
Can this create an empty firewall?
The instruction should require a complete request with at least one inbound and one outbound rule before Notis acts.
Should the request be reviewed first?
Yes. The issue should clearly indicate approval and contain the intended rules.
