Why this helps
A source discovered while browsing can be hard to reconnect to the research thread that prompted it.
- Keep relevant new sources with their research question.
- Capture why a channel is worth revisiting.
- Prevent useful discoveries from being buried in a subscriptions list.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect YouTube and Linear to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation by asking Notis or opening Automations -> New Automation.
- 3Give one instruction asking Notis to comment on the matching research issue when a new subscription is relevant to its question.
- 4Choose the new YouTube channel subscription trigger and select a run-report channel.
- 5Test with one subscription that clearly relates to an open research issue.
Questions about this workflow
What if there is no related research issue?
Ask Notis to skip the comment unless it finds a clear matching issue.
Can the note explain the channel's relevance?
Yes. Ask Notis to briefly state why the source may help answer the issue's research question.
