Get Reminded About High-Priority Issues

When a high-priority issue appears in your public Linear team, Slack reminds you immediately. Urgent work gets attention right away.

Trigger

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

Neurodivergent founders often miss high-priority issues because they're buried in the flow. Smart filtering brings urgent work to the surface.

  • High-priority issues trigger immediate Slack reminders
  • Urgent work surfaces without manual checking
  • Respond to critical issues faster

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and Slack to Notis.
  • 2Tell Notis: 'When a high-priority issue is created in my public Linear team, create a Slack reminder with the issue details and a link.'
  • 3Select 'Public Team Issue Created' as the trigger.
  • 4Choose your Slack channel for run reports.
  • 5Create a high-priority test issue in Linear and verify the reminder appears in Slack.

Questions about this workflow

How do I define 'high-priority'?

Notis can filter by priority level, labels, or issue type. Specify your criteria in the automation prompt.

Can I get urgent alerts only for issues assigned to me?

Yes, tell Notis to filter by assignee as well (e.g., 'high-priority and assigned to me').
