Make the deposit step part of an approved kickoff
Once the start decision and deposit terms are recorded in Linear, Notis can create the Finmei invoice that moves the engagement toward kickoff.
Trigger

Action
Create Invoice
Tool to create a new invoice. Use when you have all invoice details ready and need to record it. Example: "Create an invoice for customer X with two items.
Why this helps
Client work can start moving before the initial payment request has been prepared.
- Connect kickoff readiness with the deposit request.
- Keep deposit terms linked to the approval record.
- Avoid guessing deposit amounts or payment timing.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Finmei to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to set it up conversationally.
- 3In one plain-language instruction, ask Notis to create a Finmei deposit invoice when an updated Linear issue confirms the engagement is approved to start and includes explicit deposit terms.
- 4Select Linear Issue Updated and choose where to receive run reports.
- 5Test with one approved engagement that has documented deposit details.
Questions about this workflow
Will this calculate a deposit percentage?
Only if the percentage and full project fee are clearly documented and your instruction directs Notis to use them; otherwise ask for the deposit amount explicitly.
Does it start work automatically after payment?
No. This workflow creates an invoice. It does not confirm payment or change project status.
