  1. 1

    Trigger on Issue Labels

    Add a GitHub Trigger node on the issues event with action labeled, firing when a label is added.

  2. 2

    Filter for the Bug Label

    Add an IF node checking that the added label name equals bug.

  3. 3

    Create the Linear Issue

    Add a Linear node with operation Create Issue, mapping the GitHub title and body and setting the team and Triage state.

  4. 4

    Link Them Together

    Add a GitHub node commenting on the original issue with the Linear URL so both sides reference each other.

  5. 5

    Activate and Test

    Activate the workflow and label a test GitHub issue as bug. Confirm a Linear issue is created and the GitHub comment appears.

Frequently asked questions

Can I sync status changes back?

Add a second workflow on Linear issue updates that reopens or closes the GitHub issue when the Linear state changes.

What about avoiding duplicates?

Store the GitHub issue ID as a Linear custom field and check it before creating, so re-labeling doesn't create duplicate issues.
