See Team Capacity Before Assigning More Work
Every Friday, Notis sends a summary of each team member's active issues and workload. You spot that Alice has 15 issues while Bob has 3, so you can rebalance before sprint planning.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List Linear users
Lists all users in the linear workspace with their ids, names, emails, and active status.
Why this helps
You don't know who's overloaded until someone complains or misses a deadline. Work gets distributed unevenly because there's no visibility into actual workload.
- Receive a weekly summary of each team member's issue count and workload
- Identify overloaded team members before they miss deadlines
- Make smarter assignment decisions based on actual capacity, not assumptions
- Proactively rebalance work to prevent burnout
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear to Notis.

- 3Choose your notification channel and preferred time.
- 4Verify you receive the first report and check if the info is actionable.
- 5Activate to get weekly capacity visibility.
Questions about this workflow
Can the report show estimates instead of issue count?
Yes. Tell Notis: 'Show total story points assigned rather than issue count' and it calculates workload by effort.
What if someone is on vacation or out that week?
You can note that in your Linear, and Notis will exclude their workload from calculations or flag them separately.
Can I set it to alert me if someone looks overloaded?
Absolutely. Tell Notis: 'Alert me if anyone has more than 12 active issues' and it will flag concerning assignments.
