Direct-message yourself for urgent Linear issues
The instant a high-priority issue is created in Linear, Notis pings your Teams chat, so the things that matter most reach you first instead of blending into the backlog.
Trigger
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Action
Send message to Teams chat
Sends a non-empty message (text or html) to a specified, existing microsoft teams chat; content must be valid html if `content type` is 'html'.
Why this helps
Urgent issues arrive looking exactly like everything else, so the truly important ones get lost in the flood.
- Critical work jumps the queue straight to your chat.
- You react to real fires without watching the whole backlog.
- Priority stops being something you have to notice yourself.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Microsoft Teams to Notis once from the portal.
- 2Ask Notis for your portal link and open Automations, then New Automation.
- 3Write the prompt: when an urgent Linear issue is created, send it to my Teams chat.
- 4Pick the Linear issue-created trigger and choose the channel for run reports.
- 5Create one urgent test issue in Linear and confirm the chat ping arrives.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know an issue is urgent?
You define urgent in plain language, such as priority or a specific label, and Notis applies it.
Can it alert a co-founder instead of me?
Yes. Name whoever should get the chat message in your instruction.
