- 3In one plain-language instruction, tell Notis to start an Everhour timer for the matching task when a Linear issue update indicates work has begun.
- 4Select the Linear Issue Updated trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by updating one real issue to an active-work state and check the timer in Everhour.
