Notis

Check people and organization context from comments

When someone mentions a relevant person or organization in an issue discussion, have Notis look for Highergov context.

Trigger

Comment Received Trigger

Triggered when a comment is received.

Action

Get People

Tool to retrieve information on people related to government contracts and grants. Use when you need to search or filter individuals by name, organization, or role.

Why this helps

Contact research often gets separated from the discussion that explains why a person or organization matters.

  • Keep people research connected to the comment that raised the question.
  • Find relevant role or organization context for a human to verify.
  • Reduce manual searches when preparing follow-up research.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and Highergov to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally to look up people mentioned in comments.
  • 3Write one instruction asking Notis to search Highergov people using a named person or organization from the comment and summarize relevant public context.
  • 4Select Linear Comment Received and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with a real comment containing an appropriate name or organization.

Questions about this workflow

Does this contact the person?

No. It searches Highergov people data and reports information for review.

What if the name is ambiguous?

Instruct Notis to summarize uncertainty and request an organization or role clue rather than assume a match.
