Team Capacity Assessment
Smart assignments respect capacity. When you assign work, the system checks if the person has room and warns if they're at capacity.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger

Action
Get Numeric Variables
Tool to fetch all numeric variables. use after authenticating the apilio api.
Why this helps
You assign work without knowing actual capacity. Team members get silently overwhelmed. You discover months later they were drowning.
- Prevents accidentally overloading team members
- Balances work distribution fairly across team
- Reduces burnout from silent overload
- Makes team capacity visible and manageable
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Apilio to Notis (one-time setup).
- 2In Apilio, create numeric variables to track each team member's open work count (e.g., 'alex_open_items', 'jordan_open_items').
- 3Ask Notis: 'When an issue is assigned in Linear, check the assignee's workload in Apilio and alert if they're at or over capacity.' Create via portal or chat.
- 4Select 'Issue Updated' as your trigger and choose your notification channel.
- 5Test by assigning an issue to someone at capacity and verify the warning triggers.
Questions about this workflow
How do I define team capacity?
Start with a number that matches your team's sustainable output (e.g., each person should have no more than 8 open items). Adjust based on complexity and your team's feedback.
What if I have to assign work despite capacity warnings?
You can always override. The warning is there to make you deliberate about the choice, not prevent it.
How do workload numbers get updated?
They increase when work is assigned, decrease when work is completed. Notis can handle this via other automations or manual updates.
