Why this helps
Analyzing spending by category requires manual Brex searches and context-switching from Linear discussions
- Instant category-level spending visibility
- Answer cost questions without leaving Linear
- Reduce context-switching
- Enable faster budget decisions
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Brex integrations to Notis.
- 2Create an automation called 'Spending Search' with this prompt: 'When someone asks a spending question in a Linear comment (like "how much did we spend on AWS?"), search Brex transactions by description and return the total and breakdown.'
- 3Select 'Comment Received' as your trigger event.
- 4Choose your notification channel for spending query results.
- 5Test by commenting 'how much on [vendor name]' on a Linear issue and verify spending is calculated.
Questions about this workflow
What if the vendor name isn't exact?
Notis uses fuzzy matching, so variations like 'Amazon' and 'AWS' will be found. If not matched, you'll get a note to try different keywords.
Does this show historical data?
Yes, it searches all historical transactions in Brex. You can add date ranges to the comment if needed.
Can I get a breakdown by category?
You can ask in the comment, e.g., 'spending on software by month' and Notis will attempt to categorize results.
