Keep Knack records current with Linear clarifications
When a thread adds useful detail, let Notis add that context to the related Knack record for the next time you return to the work.
Trigger
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
Action
Update object record
Tool to update an existing record in a specific Knack object. Use when you need to modify field values in an existing record. Only fields provided in the request will be updated; all other fields remain unchanged.
Why this helps
Clarifications often arrive after an initial record is made, leaving the operational entry incomplete.
- Keep follow-up records complete as decisions evolve.
- Reduce rereading threads to recover new information.
- Make interrupted work easier to resume.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Knack to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation or ask Notis to refresh a Knack record when a Linear comment adds useful context.
- 3Explain in one plain-language prompt how to identify the record and what comment context to add.
- 4Select Comment Received and choose a run-report channel.
- 5Test with a real clarification and confirm the intended record was updated.
Questions about this workflow
