Carry fixed-fee project checkpoints into billing
Let a documented project checkpoint prompt the invoice step, so a fixed-fee engagement does not rely on a separate mental reminder.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
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
Project status and billing status can drift apart when the invoice depends on someone remembering a milestone.
- Tie the invoice cue to the project checkpoint.
- Reduce manual reminders for milestone-based billing.
- Create an invoice only when the project update states the checkpoint is billable.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Finmei to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to set it up in plain language.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction to create a Finmei invoice when a Linear issue update marks a fixed-fee project checkpoint ready to bill and records its terms.
- 4Select the Linear Issue Updated trigger and a run-report channel.
- 5Test with one actual checkpoint and review the invoice amount and customer.
Questions about this workflow
Does this use project-level updates?
This workflow listens to issue updates, so record the billable checkpoint on the issue that should cue the invoice.
What prevents billing the full project fee more than once?
Specify the unique checkpoint and amount in the issue and ask Notis to check existing invoice context before creating another.
