Verify Cluster Capacity When Contracting New Clients
One less thing to remember: whenever you create a new client contract issue, Notis automatically checks if your Bonsai cluster has capacity. No manual lookups. No forgotten checks.
Trigger
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Action
Get Bonsai Cluster Details
Tool to retrieve details for a single bonsai cluster by slug. use when you need to inspect a cluster's configuration and status.
Why this helps
You create a new client contract issue in Linear, then realize minutes or hours later that your Bonsai cluster is at capacity or undergoing maintenance. By then, you've already mentally committed to the contract and have to backtrack.
- Avoid committing to contracts without verifying cluster readiness
- Eliminate manual Bonsai cluster checks for each new client
- Get cluster status at the moment of decision, not hours later
- One less thing to remember during client conversations
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 11. Connect your Linear and Bonsai accounts to Notis via the portal (Settings -> Integrations). You only need to do this once.
- 22. In Notis portal, go to Automations -> New Automation. Give it a name like 'Check Cluster on New Client Contract'.
- 33. Write the plain-language prompt: 'When a new issue is created in Linear, get the Bonsai cluster details and share the status with me.'
- 44. Select the trigger: 'Issue Created' from Linear. Choose the Slack/email channel where Notis should report the cluster status.
- 55. Test by creating a new issue in Linear and confirming that Notis automatically fetches and reports the cluster details.
Questions about this workflow
Will this work for all new issues, or just contracts?
By default it triggers on all new issues. If you only want it for specific issues (e.g., labeled 'client-contract'), you can refine the prompt: 'When a new issue labeled client-contract is created...'
What if I want the cluster status in a specific Slack channel?
When you create the automation, select which channel gets the notification. You can change this anytime in Automations -> Settings.
How long does it take to get the cluster details?
Usually 5-10 seconds. Notis runs the check and posts the status to your chosen channel automatically.
Can I use this for non-client issues too?
Yes. Any new Linear issue will trigger the automation. You could create separate automations for different issue types if you prefer.
