Bring launch blockers into Linear quickly
A blocker raised in a chat can derail a rollout if it stays invisible. Give actionable launch friction a clear place to be reviewed.
Trigger
New WhatsApp Message Received
Polling trigger that monitors for new messages received in TimelinesAI WhatsApp chats.
Action
Create linear issue
Creates a new issue in a specified linear project and team, requiring a title and description, and allowing for optional properties like assignee, state, priority, cycle, and due date.
Why this helps
Launch preparation already has many moving parts, and a blocker shared in chat can be overlooked.
- Surfaces concrete rollout risks in the team's work queue.
- Preserves who or what is affected by the blocker.
- Reduces reliance on remembering a detail from a fast-moving chat.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect TimelinesAI and Linear to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create a named automation in the portal or tell Notis conversationally what result you want.
- 3Use one instruction asking Notis to create a Linear issue when a message describes a concrete launch or rollout blocker, including its reported impact.
- 4Choose the TimelinesAI new WhatsApp message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real blocker report and verify that the issue states only the known impact.
Questions about this workflow
Will all launch discussions create issues?
The instruction should limit issue creation to messages that identify a specific obstacle to a launch or rollout.
Can it preserve the rollout context?
Ask Notis to include the affected rollout or customer context when it appears in the message.
