Keep project costs with the work that caused them
A cost noted alongside an issue can move into Harvest while its project context is easy to identify.
Trigger
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Action
Create Expense
Tool to create a new expense entry. use when recording costs against projects. ensure either units or total cost is provided.
Why this helps
Project expenses mentioned in task records can be missed during expense entry.
- Keep cost details from getting lost in issue descriptions.
- Reduce repeated entry of project expenses.
- Require a clear amount and category before recording.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Harvest to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis for it conversationally.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Harvest expense only when a new issue clearly states a project cost, amount, and expense category; report uncertain details for review.
- 4Choose the Linear Issue Created trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real issue containing a known expense and verify its Harvest entry.
Questions about this workflow
Will it treat any number in an issue as an expense?
The prompt should require an explicitly described project expense, amount, and category.
What if a receipt or category is missing?
Have Notis report the missing information for review rather than inventing it.
