Bring relevant Gist context into new Linear issue triage
See whether a new issue already has a useful Gist reference before you switch tools to search for it.
Trigger
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
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
New issue triage can stall while you search for specs, notes, or snippets scattered across Gists.
- Surfaces possible Gist context close to issue creation.
- Reduces repeated manual searching across tools.
- Helps capture useful references while the issue is fresh.
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 check your Gists for IDs or links mentioned in each new issue and report any matches with a short summary.
- 4Choose the Linear Issue Created trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a new issue containing a Gist link.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create or edit a Gist?
No. It lists Gists to help identify possible matches; it does not create or change Gist content.
What should the issue include?
A Gist link or ID gives Notis a clear reference to check.
