Keep contributor follow-up in the issue update flow
An issue update can add the contact details needed for a follow-up. Let Notis handle the consented email query and return the uncertain result for review.
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 email address
Tool to determine gender from an email address. Use when you need to infer gender for personalization after obtaining proper consent.
Why this helps
Contact details added mid-thread can create a forgotten side task or a rushed response.
- Notice relevant contact details as issue properties change.
- Keep the lookup result close to the ongoing work.
- Avoid treating an inference as a verified profile field.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and GenderAPI.io to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation by asking Notis to query a provided email after public issue properties change only when consent is documented, then report the uncertain result for review.
- 3Select the Linear Public Team Issue Properties Updated trigger and choose a run-report channel.
- 4Test with a real consented issue update that includes an email.
Questions about this workflow
Does an email lookup prove identity or gender?
No. The result is an inference and can be inaccurate; use it only as a review hint with consent.
Can this update an issue automatically?
Describe reporting for human review in the prompt. Do not use the result to automatically change a profile or make a decision.
