Find a nearby backup when catering falls through
A comment about a catering snag can prompt a fast retailer lookup when location details are available.
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 Shopping List Page
Create a shopping list page on instacart + return shareable url. attempts prod first then falls back to dev; errors from prod bubble up if both fail.
Why this helps
When a food plan changes, searching for nearby alternatives adds another task in an already active thread.
- Get nearby grocery options from the issue context.
- Shorten the search for a practical catering backup.
- Keep the response connected to the event discussion.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Instacart to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis for a comment-based retailer lookup.
- 3Give Notis one instruction to look up nearby retailers when a public issue comment says catering is unavailable and supplies a postal code and country.
- 4Select the Public Team Comment Created trigger and choose a run-report channel.
- 5Test with one real comment containing a valid location and inspect the returned retailers.
Questions about this workflow
What if the comment lacks a location?
The Instacart lookup needs a postal code and country code. Ask Notis to use available valid details and report when they are missing.
Will it make a purchase?
No. It returns nearby retailer options for you to review.
