Notis

Turn file mentions into a folder search

A comment that names a project or deliverable can prompt Notis to find its likely Files.com location.

Trigger

Comment Received Trigger

Triggered when a comment is received.

Action

List Folders

Tool to list folders. Use when you need to retrieve folders under a parent with pagination.

Why this helps

File locations mentioned in comments are easy to overlook when you're focused on the discussion.

  • Captures file-search intent from comments
  • Cuts down on repeated questions about where materials live
  • Returns likely folders alongside the discussion context

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and Files.com to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Ask Notis to create an automation that searches Files.com folders when a Linear comment mentions files or a project location.
  • 3Select the Linear Comment Received trigger and choose the report channel.
  • 4Test with a real comment that names a project or deliverable.

Questions about this workflow

Does every comment have to start a search?

The prompt can ask Notis to search only when the comment appears to refer to files or a location.

Can it find a specific file?

The available action lists folders, so the report helps locate a likely folder rather than searching individual file contents.
