What does this automation do?
A task added to your plan is rewritten by an agent into your team’s issue format and opened on the right Linear team.
What can you do with it?
- Get from a line in a plan to a properly written issue
- File it on the right team with the labels you actually use
- Stop re-typing the same work into a second tool
The Steps
This automation runs in 3 steps:
- When Taskade — Task Added
- Then Taskade AI — Ask an agent ("Issue Drafter")
- Then Linear — Create Issue
What makes this different from a Zapier-style flow?
The "Issue Drafter" step is not a one-off model call. It is a Taskade AI agent that knows your Linear teams, labels, priorities and issue conventions, remembers how earlier tasks from this project were written up, 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 teams who plan in Taskade and ship from Linear. A task added to your plan is rewritten by an agent into your team’s issue format and opened on the right Linear team.
How do you set it up?
