Turn Issue Conversations into a Searchable Log
Decisions happen in comment threads, but they get buried fast. Notis automatically logs every comment to Google Sheets so you have a permanent, searchable record of why decisions were made.

Append Values to Spreadsheet
Tool to append values to a spreadsheet. use when you need to add new data to the end of an existing table in a google sheet.
Why this helps
Critical reasoning gets lost in comment threads. For neurodivergent founders, reviewing old decisions means re-reading entire threads, wasting time and cognitive energy. Team knowledge also disappears when people leave.
- Permanent record of all decisions and reasoning
- Searchable discussion history
- Reduced re-explaining of decisions
- Faster onboarding for new team members
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Google Sheets to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'Whenever someone comments on an issue in Linear, append that comment with the author and timestamp to my discussion log sheet.'
- 3Select your notification channel.
- 4Use the 'Comment Received' trigger (or 'Public/Private Team Comment Created' for team-specific logs).
- 5Test by commenting on an issue and watching it appear in your sheet.
Questions about this workflow
Can I see who commented?
Yes. Notis includes the author name with each comment, plus a timestamp for reference.
Will this create too many rows?
It depends on comment volume. For high-traffic projects, you might organize by sprint or add filters to keep it readable. Notis can help with that.
