Action

Why this helps
When blockers stay in a private list, teammates may not know that progress depends on their help.
- Show what work is waiting and why.
- Make requests for help visible to collaborators.
- Reduce repeated status explanations.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Todoist and Linear to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Use one instruction asking Notis to create a Linear issue for new Todoist tasks that document a blocker, including the dependency and help needed.
- 4Select the Todoist New Task Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real blocked task and confirm the issue states what would unblock it.
Questions about this workflow
Can it show what help is needed?
Ask Notis to include the requested support and dependency from the task.
