See Your Workload at a Glance
Each new private team issue increments a counter in Backendless, so you can see exactly how many active items you're managing without manual counting.
Trigger
Private Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue appears in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Action
Set Counter Value
Tool to set a backendless counter to a specific value conditionally. use when you need to ensure the counter only updates if it currently matches an expected value.
Why this helps
You have no realistic sense of how many issues you're juggling, which leads to surprise overwhelm and difficulty explaining workload to stakeholders.
- See your total issue count at a glance without counting manually
- Recognize workload patterns and identify when you're overloaded early
- Provide data to justify hiring decisions or scope changes
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Backendless to Notis
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a new issue is created in my private Linear team, increment a counter called issues-in-flight in Backendless'
- 3Optionally set a threshold alert (e.g., notify me when I reach 50 issues)
- 4Select your notification channel for daily or weekly workload reports
- 5Test by creating a private team issue and verify the counter increments
Questions about this workflow
Should I count closed issues or only active ones?
Notis can track both. Most founders prefer tracking only open/active issues to see true workload. We can also create a separate completed counter.
Can I reset the counter monthly?
Yes. Set up a monthly reset via Notis cron, or manually ask Notis to reset when you want a fresh cycle.
