Collect public-team Linear comments in a shared notes doc

Useful back-and-forth happens in public-team issue threads, but it stays trapped there while your shared notes doc goes half-empty. Notis appends each public-team comment to that doc so the running notes are actually complete.

Trigger

Public Team Comment Created

Fires when a new comment is posted on a *public-team* Linear issue. For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_COMMENT_CREATED`.

Action

Insert Text into Document

Tool to insert a string of text at a specified location within a google document. use when you need to add new text content to an existing document.

Why this helps

Team discussion lives inside public-team issue threads that never make it into the shared notes everyone actually reads.

  • Public-team comments flow into one shared notes doc.
  • The running notes stay complete without transcription.
  • Discussion is readable by people who skip Linear threads.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and Google Docs to Notis once from the portal.
  • 2Open Automations from your portal link and click New Automation.
  • 3Write it plainly: 'When a comment is posted on a public-team Linear issue, add it with author and date to our Team Notes doc.'
  • 4Select the Public Team Comment Created trigger and pick the run-report channel.
  • 5Post a test comment in a public team and confirm it appears in the notes.

Questions about this workflow

Does this cover private teams too?

No, this fires only for public teams. Use the private-team comment automation for teams with the lock icon.

Can I route comments to per-issue docs instead?

Yes. Tell Notis to use a doc named after each issue and it will split them accordingly.
