Important team comments on blocking issues now reserve time on your calendar, ensuring critical feedback gets the attention it deserves.
Trigger
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
Action
Create Event
Creates an event on a google calendar, needing rfc3339 utc start/end times (end after start) and write access to the calendar. by default, adds the organizer as an attendee unless exclude organizer is set to true.
Why this helps
Critical comments in Linear get lost in the notification noise. By the time you circle back, context is gone and follow-up work has piled up.
- Ensures critical team feedback surfaces and gets dedicated time
- Reduces response delay on blocking issues
- Centralizes collaboration signals across tools
- Supports async-first teams by making comments visible in the calendar
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Google Calendar to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'Alert Calendar for Critical Comments'.
- 3Set the prompt: 'When someone comments on a Linear issue marked blocking or labeled critical, create a calendar event labeled "Review [Issue Title] Comment" for today or the next business day.'
- 4Select trigger: 'Comment Received'.
- 5Choose your notification channel.
- 6Test by adding a comment to a blocking issue—you should see it on your calendar.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which comments are 'critical'?
You define it. You can filter by specific labels (e.g., 'blocking', 'urgent'), by issue status, or by keywords in the comment. Set this in your prompt: 'For comments on issues labeled blocking or assigned to me'.
Will every comment trigger a calendar event?
Only if it matches your criteria. You can filter to only high-priority issues, specific labels, or comments from specific team members to avoid calendar spam.
Can I snooze or dismiss these calendar events?
Yes—they're normal calendar events, so you can delete, reschedule, or mark as done just like any other calendar entry.
