Ways Notis can move work from Linear to Dovetail
Capture Linear Issues in Dovetail Research
Turn newly created Linear issues that contain customer evidence into organized Dovetail data points, so useful research context stays close to product decisions.
Turn Feedback Comments into Dovetail Insights
When a Linear comment adds meaningful customer feedback, synthesize it with relevant research and save a concise insight in Dovetail.
Organize Validated Issues Under Research Topics
When a Linear issue reaches a validation milestone, create a matching Dovetail topic to give related evidence a clear home.
Start a Research Channel for Each Product Project
Create a Dovetail channel when a new Linear project needs dedicated discovery or customer research.
Save Research Learnings from Project Updates
Turn project status updates that share customer learnings into concise Dovetail insights tied to the research project.
Check Research Before Project Scope Changes
When a Linear project changes status, priority, lead, or target date, search Dovetail for relevant evidence to inform the shift.
Capture Customer Evidence from Public Team Comments
Record customer observations in public-team Linear comments as Dovetail data points, keeping external feedback from getting lost in discussion.
Register Research Contacts Mentioned in New Issues
When a new Linear issue includes an identified customer who has agreed to research follow-up, create a Dovetail contact before logging future interactions.
Turn Public Team Issue Updates into Research Insights
When a public-team issue update confirms a customer pattern, capture the finding as a Dovetail insight for future decisions.

Four ways to start an automation.
A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.
Integration triggers
Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.
Webhook triggers
A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.
Recurring triggers
Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.
Database triggers
Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.
Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.
Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
Describe it. Notis builds it.
Skip the visual builder. Tell Notis what you want, in plain English. It writes the workflow, you review and deploy.
