Issue Created Trigger

Action
Query Gender by Full Name
Tool to determine gender by splitting a full name. Use when you have an exact full name string and want to infer gender. Slightly less reliable for rare or ambiguous names.
Why this helps
When a research intake comes in, it is easy to either skip the lookup or treat an estimate as more certain than it is.
- Makes review part of the workflow from the start.
- Uses the full-name action when an exact name is supplied.
- Keeps uncertainty visible for names with multiple plausible results.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Gender-API to Notis once.
- 2Ask Notis to create an automation in plain language or use Automations in the portal.
- 3Write one prompt asking for a likely estimate from the exact full name on a newly created, consented research issue, with results sent for human review.
- 4Select the Linear Issue Created trigger and choose the run-report channel.
- 5Test with one suitable example and check the handling of an ambiguous name.
Questions about this workflow
What if the name is ambiguous?
Treat the estimate as uncertain and leave it for review. Do not use it to infer a person's self-identified gender.
Does the automation need a field map?
No. Describe the task in one plain-language prompt; Notis interprets the issue context.
