Emergency work gets visibility and value

Critical issue drops. You respond. That effort logs as a charge, making interrupt cost visible.

Trigger

Comment Received Trigger

Triggered when a comment is received.

Action

Create Charge

Tool to create a new charge for a user. use when billing a user outside of goal pledges; supports dryrun mode.

Why this helps

Emergency response work drains capacity but stays invisible; interrupt cost and effort go untracked.

  • Quantify interrupt load over time
  • Track emergency response patterns
  • Build data for capacity planning

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and Beeminder to Notis (make sure Beeminder account has charge permissions)
  • 2Create an automation with 'Comment Received' as the trigger, filtering for urgent or emergency keywords
  • 3Set the action to 'create a charge' in Beeminder
  • 4Write: When I respond to an urgent issue in Linear, log a charge to my interrupt response goal reflecting effort
  • 5Test with one urgent issue response and verify the charge appears in Beeminder

Questions about this workflow

How much should each emergency response charge?

Default to 1 unit per response. Adjust based on your Beeminder goal's slope and how you measure interrupt load.

Can I exclude false alarms?

Manually delete charges in Beeminder for non-emergencies. Or refine the prompt to filter on issue priority level.
