- Use the issue as the current reference for the announcement.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Google Classroom to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal or ask Notis to set it up conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction to revise the matching Classroom announcement when a related Linear issue changes its student-facing details.
- 4Choose the Linear Issue Updated trigger and select a run-report channel.
- 5Test with one existing announcement and a real issue update, then review the edited message.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a new announcement each time?
The instruction should say to find and patch the existing matching announcement when one exists.
Can it ignore internal edits?
Yes. State in the instruction that only changes affecting the student-facing message should trigger an update.
