Weekly issue review summaries posted to Linear
Your team needs to know what's open, overdue, or at risk every week, but generating that report manually takes time. Set Notis to run every Friday: it queries all open issues, counts them by status or label, and posts a summary comment in your backlog issue or channel, so the team has a quick overview without a meeting.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List Linear issues
Lists non-archived linear issues; if project id is not specified, issues from all accessible projects are returned. can also filter by assignee id to get issues assigned to a specific user.
Why this helps
Team members don't know what's actually open or what's stuck. Weekly status meetings are long because you need to recap everything.
- Weekly backlog status visible to entire team
- No meeting time needed for updates
- Stuck issues surface automatically
- Team stays aligned on priorities

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Whatsapp to Linear. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Whatsapp triggers
Linear actions
Message Status Updated
Triggers when a WhatsApp message status changes. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: WhatsApp Cloud API does not provide a native polling endpoint for message status. Status updates are ONLY delivered via webhooks in real-time. This trigger cannot directly poll the WhatsApp API for status updates. This trigger will return empty results as WhatsApp does not support this operation. To track message status updates, you must: 1. Set up a webhook endpoint to receive status notifications from WhatsApp 2. Store the webhook data in your own database 3. Use a different mechanism to query your stored webhook data For more information, see: - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/webhooks
