Trigger
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Action
Add Table Column
Add a column to a table using microsoft graph api.
Why this helps
A tracker that lacks a useful notes space can force you to reopen issues just to remember why they matter.
- Keep follow-up context near the tracking row.
- Reduce repeated visits to issue details.
- Make future review sessions easier to re-enter.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Excel to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to add a context column to your tracker.
- 3Describe in one instruction when the column should be added and what context it should support.
- 4Pick the Linear Issue Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real issue and verify the table structure remains useful.
Questions about this workflow
Does this add a column for every issue?
The action adds a table column. Describe the condition and desired table behavior clearly, then test it.
Could I instead record context as a row value?
Yes. Adjust the plain-language instruction to add context to the appropriate existing row instead.
