Locate supporting documents when an issue changes
When an issue gains a clear government record reference, have Notis find associated Highergov document metadata.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
Get Documents
Tool to fetch document metadata from HigherGov. Use when needing to retrieve documents associated with contracts, grants, or opportunities.
Why this helps
Supporting documents can be difficult to relocate after a record is first discussed and the issue moves on.
- Bring document metadata closer to the work item that refers to it.
- Reduce time spent searching for supporting records again.
- Give reviewers a clearer starting point for deeper document review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Highergov to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language when document lookup is useful.
- 3Ask Notis to retrieve Highergov document metadata associated with the opportunity, grant, or contract reference in the updated issue.
- 4Choose Linear Issue Updated and set a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with an issue containing a real, clear record reference.
Questions about this workflow
Does this return full document contents?
The listed Highergov action retrieves document metadata. Availability of the underlying document depends on Highergov.
What if the issue has no record reference?
Ask Notis in the prompt to request a clearer reference or report that it could not identify a record.
