What does this automation do?
The agent runs this flow itself: it searches the backlog for what already exists, decides what is missing, and opens the issue.
What can you do with it?
- Ask for an issue in plain language and get it opened properly
- Have the backlog checked for a duplicate before anything is created
- Let the agent decide when to run the flow, not only what it does
The Steps
This automation runs in 4 steps:
- When Agent Tool
- Then Linear — Search Issues
- Then Taskade AI — Ask an agent ("Roadmap Analyst")
- Then Linear — Create Issue
What makes this different from a Zapier-style flow?
The "Roadmap Analyst" step is not a one-off model call. It is a Taskade AI agent that knows your roadmap, your teams and what is already on the backlog, remembers every issue it has opened and how it was worded, so every run builds on the last one instead of starting from an empty prompt.
A stateless "ask the model" step forgets everything the moment it returns. An agent keeps its knowledge and its memory between runs, carries its own tools, and can be handed work by other automations.
Who is this automation for?
Built for founders and leads who describe work faster than they file it. The agent runs this flow itself: it searches the backlog for what already exists, decides what is missing, and opens the issue.
How do you set it up?
