Ensure Concurrent Work Is Visible in Your Cluster
Concurrent work stays visible across systems. When you assign multiple people to an issue, Notis automatically updates cluster awareness of the distributed effort.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
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 assign multiple people to an issue to parallelize work, but the Bonsai cluster doesn't see the concurrency. This creates confusion about who's doing what, and parallel efforts become invisible to other teams.
- Keep concurrent assignments visible in the Bonsai cluster
- Enable better coordination of parallel work
- Reduce confusion about work distribution
- Improve visibility of distributed effort across teams
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 11. Connect Linear and Bonsai to Notis (portal -> Settings -> Integrations).
- 22. Create a new automation: Automations -> New Automation.
- 33. Prompt: 'When multiple assignees are added to a Linear issue, get the Bonsai cluster details to ensure concurrent work assignments are tracked.'
- 44. Select 'Issue Updated' as the trigger. Choose the notification channel.
- 55. Test by assigning multiple people to an issue and verify Notis retrieves the cluster details for concurrent tracking.
Questions about this workflow
How does it detect multiple assignees?
You can refine the prompt: 'When an issue gains a second or subsequent assignee' or 'When an issue is assigned to more than one person...'
Does it automatically update the cluster with concurrent assignments?
This automation retrieves cluster details. Pushing concurrent assignment info back would require a separate Bonsai update.
Can it track concurrent assignments over time?
It retrieves details when an assignment is made. For historical tracking, create a separate scheduled automation.
What if a team doesn't support concurrent assignments?
Notis will retrieve cluster details showing the current setup. You can refine the prompt based on your team's concurrent work model.
