Zapier

This integration lets you build custom automations to create or update Linear issues when actions are taken on other apps or using any of Zapier's triggers.

Overview⁠

Zapier is a good solution for building no-code automations with Linear.

Getting Started⁠

Create a Zapier account and then create workflows using our Zapier integration. This integration is open source and you're welcome to contribute to it. Zapier has a free trial after which you're charged based on usage.

You can create workflows with apps such as Typeform, Gmail, Intercom, Google Forms, Discord, Airtable, Todoist, Productboard and more.

Basics⁠

Build workflows⁠

Our Zapier trigger can be combined with other app triggers or with Zapier's default triggers to build workflows and automations. For instance, you can set up a Zapier workflow that creates a Linear issue whenever a specific Typeform is filled out.

Actions⁠

You can take the following actions in Linear in response to a trigger you configure in Zapier:

• Create a new issue
• Update an issue
• Create an issue attachment
• Create a new comment
• Create a new project

Triggers⁠

If Linear is the start of your Zap, the following actions can be used as triggers for downstream actions in Linear or other applications:

• New issue
• New issue comment
• New document comment
• New project
• New project update
• New project update comment
• Updated issue
• Updated project update

Issues created through Zapier appear as created by “Zapier” and not the user who authorized the application.

Example workflows⁠

• Create an issue with a bug label when you receive an email message with specific keywords.
• Create a new issue when a tag has been added to an Intercom conversation.
• Let team members or clients outside of Linear create bug reports and feature requests via an online form.
• Create an issue whenever a custom database query returns a new row.
• Create a dealflow pipeline: use a form integration such as Typeform or Google Forms to create a new Linear issue with a custom description.

Update to latest version⁠

If you're not seeing full functionality, you may be running an old version of the Zapier integration. Update the version you're using in a Zap from the status pane:
