Turn Linear comments into contained Discord threads
A single comment can spark a long back-and-forth that clogs the whole channel. Notis posts the Linear comment to Discord and opens a thread on that message, so the discussion has its own contained space.
Trigger
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
Action
Create thread in message channel
Creates a new thread from a specific message in a discord channel, requiring `create public threads` permission (and `send messages` if in a forum/media channel).
Why this helps
Replies to a Linear comment sprawl across the main channel, burying everything else and making the thread impossible to follow later.
- Keep each comment's replies in one contained thread
- Stop long discussions from drowning the main channel
- Find the full back-and-forth later without scrolling
- Lower the noise that makes a busy channel exhausting
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Discordbot to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an Automation named Linear comment to Discord thread.
- 3Write the prompt: When a comment is received on a Linear issue, post it to Discord and open a thread on that message.
- 4Select the Comment Received trigger and pick the Discord channel for run reports.
- 5Leave a test comment and confirm a threaded message appears in Discord.
Questions about this workflow
How is this different from a channel thread?
This opens the thread directly on the posted comment message, so replies attach to that exact comment.
What permissions are needed?
The Discord bot needs create public threads permission in the channel.
Can it name the thread?
Yes, ask Notis to name the thread after the issue or comment topic.
