Keep photo context beside the image
When a teammate adds meaningful visual context in a Linear comment, Notis can carry that context to the matching photo description for easier rediscovery.
Trigger
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
Action
Update Media Item

Why this helps
Useful explanations can stay buried in issue comments long after the related image is shared elsewhere.
- Makes helpful image context available alongside the media item.
- Reduces the need to search old issue discussions to understand a reference.
- Preserves concise, useful context for later review.

- 1Connect Linear and Google Photos to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to add relevant comment context to related photo descriptions.
- 3Describe in one plain-language instruction what counts as useful context and how to identify its image.
- 4Select the Linear Comment Received trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a comment that clearly refers to one existing photo item.
