Overview
The Linear integration creates, looks up, and searches issues from any Taskade automation or AI agent. Triage bug reports through a Custom AI Agent, then push them straight into your Linear backlog alongside GitHub and Jira.
TL;DR: Linear connects to Taskade automations through five actions: Create Issue, Get Issue, Search Issues, Update Issue, and Add Comment. Pair them with Taskade-native triggers like Schedule or Webhooks, or let your AI agents call these actions during chat to file and find issues automatically.
Connect & Configure Linear
Before you build with Linear, configure the integration.
- Navigate to Workspace → Automations in your app.
- Click Create to build a new automation.
- You can also prompt Taskade EVE to build the automation for you.
- Add a Linear action/step.
- Click Connect in the sidebar on the right and authorize Taskade to access your Linear account.
- Configure and enable the automation (or continue adding steps).
Your Linear data is now available to automations and agents.
Linear Actions
Build automation workflows that interact with your Linear workspace. Create issues, retrieve details, search across teams, update fields, and comment, all from Taskade.
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Create Issue | Create a new issue in Linear |
| Get Issue | Get an existing issue from Linear |
| Search Issues | Search for issues in Linear |
| Update Issue | Update an existing issue. Only the fields you fill in are changed |
| Add Comment | Add a comment to an existing issue |
Use Linear with AI Agents
Your AI agents can call Linear actions as tools during conversations. They can create issues, look up details, and search your backlog.
Configure Linear Tool
- Connect Linear to your workspace (see above).
- Open your agent → Tools tab.
- Enable Automation Actions or add Linear as a custom tool.
- The agent calls Linear actions on its own for relevant chat requests.
Prompt Examples
Your AI agents can use Linear actions as tools during conversations:
- "Create a bug report for the login page crash on mobile"
- "Get the details of issue LIN-1234"
- "Search for all open issues assigned to me in the Platform team"
Example Workflows
Here are a few ways to put Linear automation into practice:
- Bug triage: When a Webhook fires from your error tracker → create a Linear issue automatically.
- Sprint sync: Use a Schedule trigger to search Linear for completed issues and update Taskade projects.
- Cross-platform updates: Combine Linear with Slack to notify your team when new issues are created.
Each pattern pairs a Taskade-native trigger with a Linear action. At a glance:
| Workflow | Trigger | Linear action | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bug triage | Webhook from your error tracker | Create Issue | New crashes become Linear issues, no copy-paste |
| Sprint sync | Schedule every week | Search Issues | Completed issues roll into a Taskade report |
| Cross-team alert | New issue created | Get Issue + Slack | The team hears about new issues in chat |
