Verify Resources Before Starting Private Team Work
Internal work doesn't get blocked by resource surprises. When you create a private team issue, Notis checks if the Bonsai space has capacity available.
Trigger
Private Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue appears in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
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
Your team creates an internal issue, but doesn't verify that the corresponding Bonsai space has available resources or capacity. Work starts, then stalls because resources were allocated elsewhere.
- Verify space capacity before starting internal work
- Prevent resource conflicts between internal and external work
- Enable better work planning with real-time capacity data
- Reduce delays from discovering resource constraints mid-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 a new issue is created in a private Linear team, retrieve the Bonsai space details to verify resources are available for that work.'
- 44. Select 'Private Team Issue Created' as the trigger. Choose the notification channel.
- 55. Test by creating a new private team issue and verify Notis retrieves and reports the space resource details.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which space to check?
It matches the private team issue to its related Bonsai space. If mapping is ambiguous, you can refine the prompt with space identifiers.
What resource metrics does it check?
It retrieves full space details, which include capacity, allocation, and configuration. Interpreting resource availability may require manual review.
Can it block issue creation if resources are unavailable?
No, this automation retrieves information. Blocking or preventing issue creation would require a separate workflow or permissions system.
What if the space is shared across multiple teams?
It retrieves the space details as they are. You can refine the prompt to check for resource allocation conflicts or contention.
