Group customer visits into efficient clusters
Turn a set of customer locations into more manageable visit groups, with less manual sorting.
Trigger
Public Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue is created in a Linear *public* team. For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_ISSUE_CREATED`.
Action
Capacity Clustering
Tool to solve capacity clustering problem. Use when assigning a set of customers to clusters to minimize total distance synchronously.
Why this helps
Assigning many geographically scattered visits by hand takes attention away from customer work.
- Group location-based tasks into distance-conscious clusters.
- Reduce manual sorting across a growing queue of visits.
- Make assignments easier to review in manageable batches.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and GraphHopper once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with a prompt to cluster new customer visit locations using GraphHopper and the available capacity constraints.
- 3Select the Public Team Issue Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with a small real batch of location-based issues and clear capacity details.
Questions about this workflow
What does capacity clustering do?
It solves a clustering problem for assigning a set of customers to clusters while minimizing total distance, subject to the supplied problem data.
Can one issue provide a useful batch?
Clustering is most useful when Notis can access a set of customer locations and the relevant capacity constraints.

Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
GraphHopper Geocoding
Tool to perform forward or reverse geocoding. Use when converting between textual addresses and latitude/longitude coordinates.
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
Get Isochrone
Tool to compute isochrone polygons for a given point. Use when you need to determine areas reachable within time or distance constraints.
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Calculate Matrix
Tool to calculate distance, time, or weight matrices via POST. Use when you have multiple origins/destinations or a symmetric point set and need a single batch request.
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Get Custom Profiles
Tool to retrieve a list of all user-defined routing profiles. Use when you need to list custom profiles.
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).
POST Route
Tool to calculate complex routes via POST /route. Use when you need advanced route planning with custom parameters.
Private Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue appears in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Upload GPX File
Tool to upload a GPX file to a public file hosting endpoint. Returns a public URL which can be used where a 's3key' is required.
Private Team Issue Properties Updated
Fires when properties on an issue change in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
GraphHopper VRP POST
Tool to initiate VRP optimization. Use when you need to solve vehicle routing problems synchronously.
