Get Reminded When Linear Issues Change Status
Status updates in Linear trigger Slack reminders automatically. You'll know the moment an issue moves to 'Blocked' or 'Ready for Review' without obsessively checking.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
Create a reminder
Creates a slack reminder with specified text and time; time accepts unix timestamps, seconds from now, or natural language (e.g., 'in 15 minutes', 'every thursday at 2pm').
Why this helps
For neurodivergent founders, status changes in Linear often get missed because they involve another context switch. A reminder in Slack (where you already are) reduces friction.
- Status changes trigger reminders in Slack so you don't miss them
- Reminders appear where you already are, reducing app-switching
- Keep unblocked work flowing without manual checking
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Ensure Linear and Slack integrations are connected to Notis.
- 2Ask Notis: 'When a Linear issue status changes to blocked or ready for review, create a Slack reminder reminding me to check it.'
- 3Select 'Issue Updated' as the trigger (which includes status changes).
- 4Choose your preferred Slack channel for run reports.
- 5Change an issue's status in Linear and wait for the reminder to appear.
Questions about this workflow
Can I get reminders only for certain statuses?
Yes, tell Notis in your plain-language prompt which statuses matter (e.g., 'only when moved to blocked or in review').
How soon does the reminder appear?
Notis polls for updates periodically, so reminders typically appear within minutes of a status change.
