Get Invoice Space Details When Issue Is Ready for Billing
Stop looking up space details when you're ready to invoice. Mark the issue as invoiceable, and Notis automatically retrieves the Bonsai space metadata you need.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
Retrieve Space Details
Tool to retrieve details for a single space by its path. use when you need metadata for a space before provisioning a cluster. use after confirming this detail exists. e.g., 'omc/bonsai/us-east-1/common'.
Why this helps
You finish work on an issue and mark it ready for invoicing, but then have to manually navigate to Bonsai to find the correct space and project details for invoice submission. Or you forget which space it belongs to and invoice to the wrong location.
- Retrieve invoice space details the moment you mark an issue ready
- Eliminate manual Bonsai lookups during the invoicing process
- Reduce invoice routing errors and resubmissions
- Keep billing momentum without context-switching
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 11. Connect Linear and Bonsai to Notis (portal -> Settings -> Integrations).
- 22. Create a new automation in the Notis portal: Automations -> New Automation.
- 33. Prompt: 'When an issue is updated with the label ready-for-invoicing (or your billing label), retrieve the Bonsai space details for that project.'
- 44. Select 'Issue Updated' as the trigger. Choose the notification channel.
- 55. Test by labeling a real issue as ready for invoicing and confirm Notis sends the space details to your channel.
Questions about this workflow
What label triggers this automation?
By default, any issue update will trigger it. You can refine the prompt to respond only to specific labels like 'ready-for-invoicing' or 'billable'.
Does it include project metadata?
Yes, Notis retrieves the full space details, including project information, geographic region, and configuration relevant to invoicing.
Can it auto-create the invoice?
This automation retrieves space details. Creating the invoice itself would require a manual step or a separate integration with Bonsai's invoicing API.
What if the space is archived?
Notis will still retrieve the space details, but will flag if the space is in an archived or inactive state so you can route the invoice correctly.
