Examples
Ways Notis can move work from Linear to Dovetail
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.

Trigger Types
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 schedule (recurring or one-time), and a change in one of your Notis databases.
Integration triggers
Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,500+ apps can start a workflow.
New Notion pageStripe chargeCalendar event
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.

Scheduled triggers
Run a workflow on the clock, on a recurring schedule or once at a set date and time. Daily standups, hourly syncs, a one-off launch reminder: the workhorse of Notis.

Database triggers
Fire when a row in one of your Notis databases is added or edited, with optional filters on its properties. New lead added, status changed, value crosses a limit.

Why AI automation
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.
