Start a public site crawl from a private issue

Keep the internal task private while Notis gathers pages from the public site it references.

Trigger

Private Team Issue Created

Fires when a new issue appears in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).

Action

Start a web crawl

Initiates a firecrawl web crawl from a given url, applying various filtering and content extraction rules, and polls until the job is complete; ensure the url is accessible and any regex patterns for paths are valid.

Why this helps

Internal research requests can lose momentum when someone must start a site crawl manually.

  • Start a crawl from an internal research request.
  • Collect relevant public pages for later review.
  • Reduce setup steps before analyzing a site.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and Firecrawl to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
  • 3Describe in one plain-language instruction how Notis should crawl a referenced public website from new private-team research issues and report the results for internal review.
  • 4Pick the Linear Private Team Issue Created trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one private research issue that names an accessible public site.

Questions about this workflow

Is the private issue sent to the website?

Firecrawl crawls the public URL. Keep sensitive issue details out of the search or crawl instruction and use only the public site address and necessary research context.

Can the crawl follow every page?

The action starts a crawl with filtering and extraction rules. Describe the useful scope in the prompt and keep the site accessible.
