Catch Every Mention Without Checking Linear
Your teammate @mentions you on an issue comment. Instead of hoping you'll see it the next time you open Linear, Notis sends a WhatsApp message with the comment, who said it, and a link to reply. You stay in the conversation without task-switching.
Trigger
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
Action
Send message
Send a text message to a whatsapp number. note: the message will reflect on the recipient's phone number only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
Someone asks you a question in Linear comments, and you don't see it for hours. By then, they've already solved it or moved on to something else. Your input would have saved time, but you missed it.
- Respond to team questions in minutes
- Never miss critical discussion or feedback
- Reduce reply delays without obsessive checking
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Linear and WhatsApp accounts to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When someone comments on a Linear issue I'm involved in, send me a WhatsApp message with their comment and a link to the issue.'
- 3Select 'Comment Received' as the trigger.
- 4Designate WhatsApp as where you want to receive alerts.
- 5Test by asking a teammate to comment on an issue you're watching in Linear.
Questions about this workflow
Will I get a message for every single comment on every issue?
No—only on issues you're assigned to or watching. You can refine it further: 'Only notify me if someone @mentions me' or 'only on issues in my team.'
Can I turn off notifications for certain projects or teams?
Yes. Tell Notis which projects are noisy and which are important. You can get alerts only for specific teams or exclude certain projects entirely.
What if I'm on a noisy project with lots of comments?
Ask Notis to filter: 'Only notify me if I'm @mentioned' or 'only if the comment is a reply to my earlier comment.' This keeps your WhatsApp focused on your actual conversations.
