Keep public issue triage moving
A new public issue can bring a new contributor and another profile-search task. Let Notis check an opted-in handle and return a review hint with the issue.
Trigger
Public Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue is created in a Linear *public* team. For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_ISSUE_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
Looking up contributors one by one can take attention away from deciding what the issue needs next.
- Keep contributor context near the issue intake flow.
- Reduce repetitive manual profile searches.
- Preserve human judgment before any response or decision.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and GenderAPI.io to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with a prompt to query a contributor handle on public issue creation only when consent is recorded and report the result as an uncertain hint.
- 3Select the Linear Public Team Issue Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test on one real consented issue and confirm the inference is clearly labeled as uncertain.
Questions about this workflow
Are handles enough to identify someone reliably?
No. A handle can be ambiguous or unrelated to a person's name, and the inference may be wrong.
Can it prioritize or assign the issue?
No. Keep all issue decisions based on relevant work details, not an inferred demographic trait.
