Escalate urgent operational issues from Linear
When an urgent operational issue arrives, get it in front of the response path without hand-copying details or deciding what to do next.
Trigger
Public Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue is created in a Linear *public* team. For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_ISSUE_CREATED`.
Action
Create Escalation V2
Tool to create an escalation in incident.io. Use when you need to page users to respond to alerts. You must specify either an escalation_path_id or direct targets (users/schedules).
Why this helps
An urgent issue is filed but responder engagement waits on a founder to switch tools and initiate the escalation.
- Starts the configured escalation path for qualifying issues.
- Reduces manual paging steps during a busy moment.
- Keeps the source issue available as response context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and incident.io to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to create an escalation for new public-team issues that meet your urgent operational criteria, using the intended escalation path.
- 3Select the Public Team Issue Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with a real qualifying issue and confirm the intended responders are reached.
Questions about this workflow
What does incident.io need for an escalation?
The escalation action requires an escalation path or direct targets; specify the intended configured path in the instruction.
Should every new issue page someone?
No. Set clear criteria in the prompt so only qualifying urgent operational reports trigger escalation.
