Confirm Private Assignments Are Tracked in Bonsai

Internal assignments stay visible across systems. When you assign a private team issue, Notis verifies the Bonsai cluster has the assignment tracked.

Trigger

Private Team Issue Properties Updated

Fires when properties on an issue change in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).

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 a private team issue to someone, but the Bonsai cluster doesn't automatically know about the assignment. Later, you realize the assignment was lost in the noise, and work doesn't get done.

  • Verify private assignments are visible in the Bonsai cluster
  • Prevent assignments from being lost or forgotten
  • Keep assignees aware of their work across both systems
  • Reduce status confusion on private team work

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 assignment is made on a private team issue, get the Bonsai cluster details and verify the assignment is visible.'
  • 44. Select 'Private Team Issue Properties Updated' as the trigger. Choose the notification channel.
  • 55. Test by assigning a private team issue and verify Notis retrieves and confirms the assignment.

Questions about this workflow

How does it verify the assignment?

Notis retrieves the cluster details. Confirming the specific assignment exists would require reviewing the cluster details or custom logic.

What if the cluster doesn't track assignments?

Notis will retrieve available cluster details. If assignments aren't tracked in your cluster setup, that will be apparent in the response.

Can it automatically update the cluster with the assignment?

This automation retrieves and verifies. Pushing the assignment back would require a separate Bonsai API integration.

Does it notify the assignee?

No, it verifies the cluster knows about the assignment. Notifying the assignee would be a separate step.
