- See completion progress in real time when you close issues
- Retrieve motivational metrics automatically without extra effort
- Track progress toward milestones and celebrate wins
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Backendless to Notis
- 2Ask Notis: 'When an issue status changes to complete in Linear, retrieve my completion counter from Backendless and tell me my total'
- 3Optionally set milestone alerts (e.g., notify me at 10, 25, 50, 100 completions)
- 4Choose your notification channel for completion reports
- 5Close a test issue and verify you receive your updated completion count
Questions about this workflow
Can I track different metrics for different issue types?
Yes. Notis can read the issue type or labels and retrieve different counters for different categories (e.g., features completed vs bugs fixed).
What if I reopen an issue?
Set up a companion automation to decrement the counter if an issue goes back to open status.
