Know Your Project Scope Before You Commit
Every new project gets an instant scope breakdown. You see what you're taking on before you commit to a timeline.
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
Upload File
Upload a file to the sandbox environment. the files should be uploaded to the /home/user folder.
Why this helps
A new project lands and you have no sense of scope. Is it a 2-week sprint or a 6-month epic? Estimation is guessing in the dark, leading to bad commitments and broken promises.
- Instant view of project scope prevents over-committing
- Complexity breakdown by type (bugs vs features vs refactors) shows real effort
- Early estimation means less timeline pressure and burnout
- Transparent scope helps with staffing and planning
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Codeinterpreter to Notis (integrations page).
- 2Create an automation named 'Project Complexity Analyzer.'
- 3In plain language, write: 'When a new project is created, wait 30 seconds for issues to be linked. Then analyze the project: count issues by type (bug/feature/refactor/chore), by complexity if estimated, or by area (backend/frontend/infra/design). Generate a visual heatmap (color-coded grid or stacked bar chart) showing distribution. Save as an image to /home/user/projects/[project-name]-complexity.png. Upload the file and post a message like New project scope: X issues, distributed as [summary]. Estimated effort: [rough guess based on complexity].'
- 4Choose 'Project Created' as the trigger.
- 5Create a test project with 10-20 issues of varied types. Notis should analyze and generate a heatmap within a minute.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis estimate effort from a complexity heatmap?
It uses issue count and type distribution as a proxy. For example, 'a project with 8 features and 3 bugs is roughly 2 weeks at your current velocity.' This is a rough signal, not a guarantee.
Can I customize the complexity categories?
Yes--tell Notis how you categorize work (by label, type, area, etc.) and it will adjust the heatmap accordingly.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Linear to Codeinterpreter. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Linear triggers
Codeinterpreter actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Sandbox
Create a sandbox to execute python code in a jupyter notebook cell. this is useful for agents to communicate, execute code, see output, read files, write files, etc. it's like you own personal computer, but in the cloud. use /home/user folder to write/read files.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Execute Code
Execute python code in a sandbox and return any result, stdout, stderr, and error. use /home/user folder to write/read files. try to not use plt.show() as the code is executed remotely. use files for image/chart output instead.
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
Get File
Get a file from the sandbox and returns the file. the files should be read from /home/user folder.
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Run Terminal Command
Run a command in the terminal and returns the stdout, stderr, and error code. use /home/user folder to write/read files.
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Upload File
Upload a file to the sandbox environment. the files should be uploaded to the /home/user folder.
Private Team Comment Created
Fires when a new comment is posted on an issue in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Private Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue appears in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Private Team Issue Properties Updated
Fires when properties on an issue change in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
