Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders often miss important issues because they're buried in conversation history. Starring highlights them visually.
- New issues are automatically starred in Slack for visibility
- Important work stands out without extra effort
- Quick reference system for finding key issues later
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Slack to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a new Linear issue is created, star the Slack message about it so I can find it quickly.'
- 3Select 'Issue Created' as the trigger.
- 4Choose your Slack channel for run reports.
- 5Create a new Linear issue and verify the corresponding Slack message gets starred.
Questions about this workflow
What if the Slack message doesn't exist yet?
Make sure another automation posts new issues to Slack first, then this automation will star them.
Can I star issues based on criteria?
Yes, tell Notis to only star high-priority issues, bugs, or issues with specific labels.
