Invoice tied to project status updates
Posting a project status update means the work is progressing—that's a perfect moment to invoice. Notis automates it: status update posted in Linear, invoice created in Stripe instantly.
Trigger
Project Update Posted
Fires when a project status update is posted on the Linear project's Updates tab. Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token.
Action
Create an invoice
Creates a new draft stripe invoice for a customer; use to revise an existing invoice, bill for a specific subscription (which must belong to the customer), or apply detailed customizations.
Why this helps
Project status updates are progress checkpoints, but you manually invoice later—missing the opportunity to bill aligned with updates.
- Invoicing is linked to tangible progress updates, not arbitrary dates
- Notis detects status updates and creates invoices automatically
- Billing follows real work progress, improving client perception
- No manual invoice creation needed when updates are posted
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Stripe to Notis.
- 2Create automation: 'When a project status update is posted in Linear, create an invoice in Stripe.'
- 3Optionally, tell Notis to only trigger on updates containing specific keywords (e.g., 'milestone reached', 'phase complete').
- 4Set your notification channel for update-triggered invoices.
- 5Test by posting a status update on a Linear project and checking for the Stripe invoice.
Questions about this workflow
Should I invoice every status update?
You can configure Notis to trigger on all updates or only those with specific keywords ('invoiceable', 'billable', etc.). You control the frequency.
Can I include the status update text in the invoice?
Yes. Notis can read the status update content and include relevant details in the invoice description, tying billing to the specific progress mentioned.
What if a status update is just informational, not billable?
Use keywords or labels to distinguish billable updates from informational ones. Only marked updates trigger invoicing.
