Notis

Handle new contributor context with fewer detours

Issue updates sometimes add a first name or location after the work is underway. Notis can collect that context in one reviewable step when consent is present.

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

Query Gender by First Name

Tool to determine gender by querying first name. Use when you need to infer likely gender for a given name with optional localization hints.

Why this helps

New information arriving late can trigger scattered follow-up research and make the next response harder to track.

  • Notice new context as part of issue updates.
  • Use a locale hint when the issue provides one.
  • Keep a person in control of how the result is interpreted.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and GenderAPI.io to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation with an instruction to query a newly provided first name after a public issue property update only with consent, use any supplied locale hint, and report the result as uncertain.
  • 3Choose the Linear Public Team Issue Properties Updated trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 4Test with one real consented update that includes a first name and locale hint.

Questions about this workflow

Does a locale hint guarantee a correct result?

No. The result remains a prediction and can be incorrect even when a locale is supplied.

What if the update does not add a first name?

Have Notis skip the query unless new name information is present and consented.
