Keep customer evidence from Linear close to your research

Why this helps
Customer evidence can disappear inside issue queues, forcing founders to retrace their steps when making product decisions.
- Preserve customer context alongside research
- Reduce manual copying between tools
- Make evidence easier to revisit during planning
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Dovetail to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally for this workflow.
- 3Give Notis one plain-language instruction to save new Linear issues containing customer evidence as Dovetail data points in the appropriate channel.
- 4Pick the Linear Issue Created trigger and choose where Notis should report runs.
- 5Test with one real issue that includes a customer observation.
Questions about this workflow
Will every new Linear issue be added to Dovetail?
Tell Notis in the instruction to capture issues with customer evidence, so routine tasks are not treated as research.
Do I need to map issue fields?
No. Describe the evidence to capture and the intended Dovetail channel in the plain-language instruction.
