Check first names during intake
Capture a name-related research step at intake so it does not become another loose follow-up.
Trigger
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Action
Gender From First Name
Tool to determine the gender of a first name. Use when you need to identify gender based on a given name.
Why this helps
A profile research task arrives, but the name check gets separated from the original context.
- Starts the lookup where a research task first appears.
- Gives the team a result to review without copying details between apps.
- Leaves uncertain and ambiguous cases visible for follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Gender-API to Notis once.
- 2Start an automation from the portal or ask Notis to create one in plain language.
- 3In a single prompt, ask Notis to check the first name in a newly created, consented profile research issue and return Gender-API's likely estimate for human review.
- 4Choose the Linear Issue Created trigger and a reporting channel.
- 5Test with one appropriate real example, including how an uncertain result is handled.
Questions about this workflow
Is the result definitive?
No. Name-based results are estimates and may be uncertain. Do not treat them as a person's identity or preference.
Can this run on every issue?
Describe the intended intake context in the prompt. Use this only for appropriate, consented research.
