Add GitLab job context to blocked Linear issues
A blocked issue needs a useful clue for the next step. Notis can retrieve pipeline jobs so you can see whether a failed or pending run is involved.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
List Pipeline Jobs
Tool to retrieve a list of jobs for a specified pipeline within a project. use this when you need to inspect the status or details of jobs associated with a particular ci/cd pipeline.
Why this helps
Investigating a blocked task often begins with a tool search before anyone knows what to inspect.
- Bring relevant job details closer to the blocked issue.
- Reduce repeated navigation during investigation.
- Help make the next action more specific.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and GitLab to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve the relevant GitLab pipeline jobs when a Linear issue becomes blocked and report any useful status details.
- 4Pick the Linear Issue Updated trigger, select a channel for run reports, and test with one real blocked issue.
