Generate a capacity note when an estimate changes
Make effort changes visible before they become schedule problems.
Trigger
Task Time Estimate Updated
Triggers when a task's time estimate is set, changed, or cleared. `changes[]` carries `TimeEstimateChange` entries only; `before` and `after` are millisecond strings or `null`.
Action
Generate documents from template
Tool to generate document(s) from a template by merging JSON data or uploading a data file. Use when you need to programmatically produce one or more documents and receive metadata including a download URL.

Questions about this workflow
Can it handle estimates being cleared?
Yes. ClickUp can report a cleared estimate, and Notis can state that no estimate is currently set.
Can it calculate team capacity?
Only if the needed capacity baseline is supplied. Otherwise it can explain the task level impact.
