Add a name-origin lookup to research updates
Use a confirmed identifier and an issue update to continue optional research with a human review step.
Trigger
Public Team Issue Properties Updated
Fires when properties on a *public-team* Linear issue change (status, assignee, priority, labels, etc.). For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_ISSUE_PROPERTIES_UPDATED`.
Action
Get Country of Origin
Tool to retrieve a name's likely countries of origin. Use after confirming the name identifier.
Why this helps
A research detail becomes available after intake, but it is easy to lose track of the next step.
- Waits for a confirmed identifier before making a request.
- Keeps the lookup connected to the issue that gained the detail.
- Frames origin results as likely context for review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Gender-API to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Use one prompt asking Notis to request likely countries of origin when a suitable, consented public-team research issue is updated with a confirmed name identifier, then report the estimate for review.
- 4Select the Public Team Issue Properties Updated trigger and choose a reporting channel.
- 5Test with one appropriate issue update and check how the result is presented.
Questions about this workflow
Does a likely country of origin identify a person?
No. The action estimates origins associated with a name; it does not establish a person's country, ethnicity, or identity.
Should I use this for audience targeting?
Do not use inferred origin to make consequential decisions about individuals. Keep any research optional, appropriate, and reviewed.
