Recheck timely discussions as issue priorities evolve
When an issue moves forward or changes category, see whether today's conversation offers timely context.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger

Action

Why this helps
Issue transitions can change urgency, but external signals are rarely revisited at the same time.
- Connect status or label changes with a same-day discussion check.
- Surface timely context before the next work step.
- Reduce the need to remember a separate monitoring routine.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Hacker News once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation or ask Notis to check today's HN posts when an issue changes.
- 3Write one instruction describing the issue topics and the type of timely discussion to return.
- 4Select the Linear Issue Updated trigger and choose a channel for reports.
- 5Test after changing a real issue's status or label.
Questions about this workflow
Can the prompt focus on status or label changes?
Yes. State which changes matter and what Hacker News context would be useful.
Will today's posts always contain a match?
No. Ask Notis to say when it finds no relevant posts rather than forcing a result.
