Turn Feedback Into Structured Feature Requests
Team members send you feature ideas in DMs. Notis captures those ideas and creates structured Linear issues so nothing gets lost in your inbox.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Create linear issue
Creates a new issue in a specified linear project and team, requiring a title and description, and allowing for optional properties like assignee, state, priority, cycle, and due date.
Why this helps
Feature requests arrive scattered through DMs, making them easy to forget. Neurodivergent founders lose track of important ideas because they're not formally tracked.
- Capture feature ideas the moment they arrive without typing twice
- Build a structured product roadmap from informal feedback
- Ensure great ideas don't get lost in your DM history
- Reduce decision fatigue by automating the capture step
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Linear to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When someone sends me a DM that sounds like a feature request, create a Linear feature issue' or use the portal.
- 3Provide the prompt: 'When I receive a DM that suggests a new feature or improvement, create a Linear issue labeled as Feature Request with the suggestion as the description.'
- 4Name the Linear team and Backlog project in that same instruction so the issues land in the right place.
- 5Test by sending Notis a feature request idea via DM and verify it appears as an issue.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know if a DM is a feature request?
You can specify keywords in your prompt, or let Notis use natural language to infer intent.
Can I assign features to a specific team member?
Yes. Include assignment logic in your prompt if needed.
What if someone sends a general comment that isn't really a feature request?
You can refine your prompt to be more specific, or you can manually delete issues that don't qualify.
