Prepare thoughtful replies to public comments
A new public comment can be another interruption in a busy day. Let Notis check a consented handle and make the result available when you review the reply.
Trigger
Public Team Comment Created
Fires when a new comment is posted on a *public-team* Linear issue. For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_COMMENT_CREATED`.
Action
Get Gender from Username
Tool to determine gender from a username or nickname. Use when you have an alias or handle and want to infer gender from that identifier.
Why this helps
Switching out of a comment thread to research a handle makes it easier to forget the response altogether.
- Keep comment follow-up in one review flow.
- Avoid repeat searches for a contributor handle.
- Use the inference only as a fallible hint.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and GenderAPI.io to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal with an instruction to query a handle in a public-team comment only when consent is recorded, then report the uncertain result for a human review.
- 3Select the Linear Public Team Comment Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one consented public comment and confirm an unconsented handle is skipped.
Questions about this workflow
Can I use this to infer how someone wants to be addressed?
No. Ask the person or follow their stated preference; a handle-based inference may be wrong.
What happens if the comment has no handle?
Ask Notis to skip the lookup and continue the normal comment workflow.
