Never Miss a Critical Issue Update
High-priority issues move fast. By the time you remember to check Linear, half the day is gone and the context is stale. Notis sends an instant email the moment a critical issue updates—you and your team respond in real time.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
Send Email
Sends an email via gmail api using the authenticated user's google profile display name, requiring `is html=true` if the body contains html and valid `s3key`, `mimetype`, `name` for any attachment.
Why this helps
ADHD brains don't naturally scan tools on a schedule. Urgent issues get buried, or you find out after the damage is done because no one checked Linear in time.
- Urgent issues hit your inbox within seconds of a status change
- Team stays synchronized without manual check-ins
- No more 'Oh, I didn't see that update' delays
- Reduces cognitive load—you don't have to remember to monitor Linear
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Gmail to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a High or Urgent priority issue is updated, send an email to my team with the new status and assignee.'
- 3Specify who gets the email (team lead, entire team, stakeholders) and what info to include.
- 4Test by changing a high-priority issue's status in Linear; verify the email arrives within 10 seconds.
- 5Enable it—Notis now watches all priority updates for you.
Questions about this workflow
Will I get emails for every update, even tiny ones?
No. You tell Notis which updates matter: 'Only email if priority changes, status changes, or assignee changes.' Minor edits don't trigger anything.
Can I email different people for different priorities?
Yes. You can say 'Urgent → email the CEO and dev lead; High → email the team.' Notis routes based on your rules.
What if a non-urgent issue gets updated?
Notis ignores it. You set the threshold (e.g., only Urgent and High), so your inbox stays clean.
