Bring earlier Gist feedback into reopened issues

A reopened issue can prompt a quick look at feedback on its linked Gist before you pick up the work again.

Trigger

Issue Updated Trigger

Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.

Action

List Gist Comments

Tool to list comments on a gist. Use after confirming the gist_id to retrieve comments for a specific gist. Example: 'List comments for gist abc123'.

Why this helps

When work reopens, the reason may be buried in comments on supporting material.

  • Makes related feedback visible when work resumes.
  • Helps avoid repeating an approach that already drew concerns.
  • Reduces the effort of reconstructing a prior discussion.

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 respond to reopened issues by finding the referenced Gist and summarizing its comments.
  • 4Choose the Linear Issue Updated trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test by reopening an issue with a Gist reference.

Questions about this workflow

Can this detect only reopened issues?

Describe the reopened condition in the plain-language instruction; the trigger itself fires on issue updates.

Does it change or delete Gist comments?

No. It lists and summarizes existing comments.
