Keep focus-session tasks current in Linear
A playlist update can mark a change in how you are approaching a work session. Have Notis refresh the related Linear issue with the context you specify.
Trigger
Spotify Playlist Item Change
Triggers when songs are added to or removed from a Spotify playlist.
Action
Update issue
Updates an existing linear issue using its `issue id`; requires at least one other attribute for modification, and all provided entity ids (for state, assignee, labels, etc.) must be valid.
Why this helps
The plan for a focus block can change while the tracking issue stays stale.
- Keep an existing task aligned with a changed work session.
- Reduce manual status and context updates after a session shift.
- Make it easier to resume work from the latest note.

- 1Connect Spotify and Linear to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation or ask Notis in plain language to update the existing Linear issue for a focus session when its playlist changes.
- 3Select Spotify Playlist Item Change as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one playlist change and confirm the intended issue receives the update.
