Why this helps
Finding the right person means leaving the issue, searching the CRM, and carrying the answer back into the discussion.

- Bring relevant contact details into the context where the request was made.
- Avoid guessing when a comment does not identify a clear person or company.

- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to recognize contact lookup requests in comments, search Folk people for matching context, and report likely matches with available details.
- 4Pick the Linear Comment Received trigger.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real comment that asks for a contact.
