Make issue handoffs easier to pick up
Give the next person a clearer starting point by surfacing the issue's referenced Gist when its details change.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
List Gists
Tool to list the authenticated user's gists or all public gists if called anonymously. Use after setting a valid GitHub token in headers.
Why this helps
A handoff can leave the next owner piecing together context across an issue and a separate Gist.
- Makes linked notes easier to find during a handoff.
- Helps the next owner start with relevant context.
- Reduces repeated explanation and searching.
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.
- 3Ask Notis in one instruction to summarize a referenced Gist when an issue changes, presenting the summary as handoff context.
- 4Choose the Linear Issue Updated trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by changing the assignee or another issue property on an issue with a Gist link.
Questions about this workflow
Does this assign the issue?
No. It responds to an issue update and surfaces context; it does not change the assignee.
Should each issue include a Gist link?
A link or ID helps Notis find the intended Gist for a reliable handoff.
