Why this helps
Due dates get set but nobody tracks them. You discover deadlines are tomorrow when it's too late. Time blindness means deadlines sneak up without warning.
- Calculates time remaining automatically without manual checking
- Alerts you before deadlines sneak up on you
- Escalates imminent deadlines immediately
- Reduces anxiety from surprise deadlines
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Apilio to Notis (one-time setup).
- 2In Apilio, create numeric variables to track time thresholds (e.g., 'alert_if_days_left_below_3', 'escalate_if_days_left_below_1').
- 3Ask Notis: 'When a due date is set or changed in Linear, calculate days remaining and check if it meets my alert thresholds in Apilio.' Create via portal or chat.
- 4Select 'Issue Updated' as your trigger and choose your notification channel.
- 5Test by setting a due date 2 days from now and verify the alert triggers.
Questions about this workflow
How far in advance should I get alerts?
That's personal. Many neurodivergent founders find 3-5 days helpful to reduce panic. Adjust your threshold based on what keeps you calm and productive.
What if I don't need alerts for this specific issue?
Use a Linear label (e.g., 'no_deadline_alerts') and your Notis prompt can exclude those issues from deadline tracking.
Can I adjust alert thresholds by project urgency?
Yes. Create different time-threshold variables for different project types. Your Notis prompt selects the right one based on project context.
