Alert Discord when Linear issues become blocked
Blockers stay buried in the issue tracker until a standup or deadline exposes them. A blocked Linear issue posts a concise Discord alert while teammates can still act on it. Notis handles the handoff and reports the run in your chosen channel.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
Post message to channel
Sends a message to a specified discord channel (text, embeds, stickers, components, attachments); requires `send messages` permission and one of `content`, `embeds`, `sticker ids`, or `attachments`.
Why this helps
Blockers stay buried in the issue tracker until a standup or deadline exposes them.
- A blocked Linear issue posts a concise Discord alert while teammates can still act on it.
- Reduces context switching between the source conversation and the destination tool.
- Keeps the automation grounded in a clear event and a specific outcome.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Discord to Notis once from the portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally to create it.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction: "When a Linear issue is updated to blocked, post a concise alert with the issue context in the designated Discord channel."
- 4Pick Issue Updated from Linear, choose the channel for run reports, and test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
Do I need to map fields between Linear and Discord?
No. Describe the outcome in plain language and Notis interprets the relevant event and action context.
What happens when the trigger runs?
Notis uses the trigger context to post the blocker alert in Discord and reports the result in the channel selected for the automation.

Adds a user (who is not already a member) to a guild using their `access token` (which must have `guilds.join` scope), optionally setting nickname, roles, mute/deaf status, or flags.
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Assign role to guild member
Assigns a role to a guild member, provided the bot has 'manage roles' permission in the guild and the role to be assigned is hierarchically lower than the bot's highest role.
Private Team Comment Created
Fires when a new comment is posted on an issue in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Add reaction to message
Adds an emoji reaction from the authenticated user/bot to a specific message in a discord channel; does not return information about existing reactions.
Private Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue appears in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Add or update thread member
Adds a user to a specific, unarchived thread; the user must have access to the thread's parent channel, and for private threads, the bot must already be a member.
Private Team Issue Properties Updated
Fires when properties on an issue change in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Modify guild ban settings
Permanently bans a user from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages (specify deletion period in seconds or days, not both).
Project Created
Fires when a new Linear project is created. Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token, so visibility matches what the connected user can see in Linear.
Bulk ban users in guild with message deletion option
Bans up to 200 users from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages; the bot must have 'ban members' permission in the guild, and this action is irreversible.
