Review project capacity from your Bonsai workload

See the project commitments and workload details available in Bonsai in one document before taking on more work.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Create a File from Text

Creates a new file in google drive from provided text content (up to 10mb), supporting various formats including automatic conversion to google workspace types.

Why this helps

It is difficult to make a confident capacity decision when project commitments are spread across records.

  • Bring available commitments into one review.
  • Support more deliberate capacity decisions.
  • Make missing workload data explicit.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Bonsai and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to summarize available project commitments and workload details for capacity planning, and list any needed information Bonsai does not provide.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real capacity review and compare it with known commitments.

Questions about this workflow

Can it tell me how many hours I have free?

Only if Bonsai provides workload estimates and capacity data. Otherwise provide your capacity baseline and ask Notis to state the limits of its assessment.

Can it recommend whether to accept a project?

It can organize evidence and apply criteria you supply, but the workflow should flag missing information for your decision.
