Auto-List Available Bonsai Spaces When Starting a Project
Project planning shouldn't require context-switching. When you create a Linear project, Notis automatically shows you all available Bonsai spaces - no manual lookups, no forgotten assignments.
Trigger
Project Created
Fires when a new Linear project is created. Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token, so visibility matches what the connected user can see in Linear.
Action
List Bonsai Spaces
Tool to retrieve a list of all available spaces. use when you need to see the server groups and geographic regions available to your account.
Why this helps
You create a project in Linear, then either forget to check which Bonsai space it should live in, or manually navigate to Bonsai to see what spaces exist. This interrupts your focus and creates the risk of misallocating the project later.
- See all available project spaces without leaving Linear
- Make space assignment decisions immediately when planning the project
- Reduce context-switching between tools
- Prevent misallocated or orphaned projects
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 11. Connect Linear and Bonsai to Notis (portal -> Settings -> Integrations). One-time setup.
- 22. In the Notis portal, create a new automation: Automations -> New Automation.
- 33. Use this prompt: 'When a new project is created in Linear, list all available Bonsai spaces and send them to me.'
- 44. Select 'Project Created' as the trigger and choose your notification channel (Slack, email, etc).
- 55. Test by creating a new project in Linear and verify that Notis lists the spaces within seconds.
Questions about this workflow
Can I filter the space list by type or region?
The automation lists all spaces by default. You can refine the prompt to filter: 'List spaces in the us-east-1 region' or adjust based on your needs.
What if we have hundreds of spaces?
Notis will list them all. If that's overwhelming, you can modify the prompt to show only active or frequently-used spaces.
Can I assign the space automatically?
Not with this action alone. This automation shows you the list so you can decide. For full automation, you'd need a second step to sync the assignment back to Bonsai.
Does this work for existing projects?
No, it only triggers when a new project is created. For existing projects, run the automation manually or create a separate scheduled automation.
