Automatically Sync Status Changes to Your Bonsai Cluster
Issue status stays in sync across systems. When you change issue status in Linear, Notis automatically retrieves cluster details to verify the sync.
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 move an issue to In Progress or Review in Linear, but the Bonsai cluster doesn't automatically know about it. You either manually update Bonsai or the systems drift out of sync, creating confusion about what's actually in flight.
- Verify issue status is reflected in Bonsai cluster automatically
- Reduce manual sync work between tools
- Prevent status divergence between Linear and Bonsai
- Keep all teams aware of current issue state
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 an issue status changes in Linear, get the Bonsai cluster details and verify the status change is reflected.'
- 44. Select 'Issue Updated' as the trigger. Choose the notification channel.
- 55. Test by changing an issue status in Linear (e.g., to In Progress) and verify Notis retrieves the cluster details.
Questions about this workflow
What status changes trigger the sync?
By default, any issue status change will trigger it. You can refine to specific statuses like 'In Progress', 'Review', or 'Done'.
Does it update the cluster automatically or just verify?
This automation retrieves cluster details for verification. Actually updating the cluster status would require a separate Bonsai API call.
What if the cluster disagrees with Linear?
Notis will report the discrepancy in its response. You can then decide which system is authoritative.
Can I filter by issue label or team?
Yes. Refine the prompt: 'When an issue labeled client-work changes status...' or 'When a public team issue changes status...'
