Turn outage comments into incident records
When the outage report appears in a comment, start the incident record there instead of waiting for someone to notice and re-enter it.
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
Create Incident V2
Tool to create a new incident in incident.io using the V2 API. Use when you need to report and track an operational issue or outage. Requires at minimum an idempotency_key and visibility setting. Optionally specify severity, incident type, custom fields, role assignments, and other attributes.
Why this helps
A customer-facing outage is first mentioned in a comment, where it can be overlooked while teams wait for a formal issue update.
- Captures outage signals shared in issue discussions.
- Starts response tracking without a separate intake step.
- Reduces the chance that a comment gets buried.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and incident.io to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to create an incident when a public-team issue comment reports a new customer-facing outage.
- 3Select the Public Team Comment Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real qualifying comment and verify the incident includes useful context.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow avoid incidents for routine comments?
