Why this helps
Important feedback may be split between an issue thread and comments on a related Gist.
- Brings related Gist discussion into issue follow-up.
- Reduces the chance of overlooking feedback in another thread.
- Helps keep a response focused on the full context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Gist to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis to create one in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to find a Gist link in the commented issue, list its comments, and summarize relevant discussion.
- 4Choose the Linear Comment Received trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by adding a comment to an issue with a Gist reference.
Questions about this workflow
Does this post a reply on the Gist?
No. It checks and summarizes existing comments; it does not post a comment.
Can it check every Gist?
The instruction should use the Gist reference in the issue to focus the check.
