Notis

Understand the GitLab codebase behind a new initiative

A new initiative is easier to plan when the codebase is familiar. Notis can retrieve language information from the associated GitLab project.

Trigger

Public Team Issue Created

Fires when a new issue is created in a Linear *public* team. For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_ISSUE_CREATED`.

Action

Get Project Languages

Tool to list programming languages used in a project with percentages. use when you need the project language breakdown.

Why this helps

Starting an initiative can require a round of repository discovery before the team knows where the work fits.

  • Bring a quick codebase overview into initiative setup.
  • Reduce manual exploration before planning begins.
  • Help identify the likely project context for upcoming work.

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 to set it up in plain language.
  • 3Tell Notis to identify the likely GitLab project when a new Linear initiative is created and retrieve its language breakdown.
  • 4Pick the Project Created trigger, choose a channel for run reports, and test with one real initiative.

Questions about this workflow
