Updated Doc? Automatically Re-Attached
Your doc gets edited, the attachment in Linear becomes stale. Notis replaces it with the latest version automatically—your issue always has the current doc without extra steps.
Trigger
Document Updated
Triggers when an existing Google Doc is updated or modified. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are updated.
Action
Create linear attachment
Creates a new attachment and associates it with a specific, existing linear issue.
Why this helps
Attachments in issues become outdated when documents evolve. Manually re-attaching wastes time, and stale attachments lead to miscommunication and wasted effort reviewing old versions.
- Ensures your team always reviews the current doc version
- Eliminates stale attachment frustration and miscommunication
- Reduces manual work of re-attaching updated docs
- Creates a clear document history in the issue
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Docs and Linear to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'Whenever this Google Doc is updated, replace its attachment in the related Linear issue with the latest version.'
- 3Notis identifies the doc and issue to link.
- 4Choose your notification channel and test by editing the doc.
- 5Optionally add a comment when the doc is re-attached: 'Doc updated: see latest attachment.'
Questions about this workflow
What if multiple versions are already attached?
Notis will replace the most recent attachment. If you want to keep a version history, tell Notis to keep old attachments and add the new one as well.
Does it create too many attachments or notifications?
You can set a minimum time between attachments (e.g., 'only re-attach once per hour') to reduce noise while keeping docs mostly current.
Can it attach only significant edits, not every minor change?
Yes. Refine your prompt: 'Attach the doc only if it gains more than [X] words or [significant structural changes] since the last attachment.'
