FAQ

Questions about Linear + Gmail.

How do I create a Linear issue from a Gmail message?
Gmail Email Received with label "@linear" → Linear Create Issue in a target team. Title = subject, description = email body + sender email. Useful for internal bug reports filed via email.
Can I route different Gmail labels to different Linear teams?
Yes. Switch on Gmail label or sender domain. "bug-from-customer-X" → customer-success team. "internal-bug" → engineering team. One workflow handles multi-team intake.
How do I AI-classify Gmail before creating Linear issues?
Insert Claude/OpenAI step. Classify as bug, feature request, support question. Only create Linear issues for bugs/features. Set the priority based on classification confidence.
Can I notify Gmail sender when their reported Linear issue ships?
Yes. Store sender email in the Linear issue description. Linear Issue moved to "Done" with "shipped" label → Gmail Send Email to the sender. Closes the loop with the reporter.
How do I prevent duplicate Linear issues from re-fired Gmail labels?
Add a Gmail label "filed-to-linear" after Create Issue, and filter the trigger to exclude messages with that label. Or use thread_id as a dedup key.
Can I attach Gmail attachments to the Linear issue?
Yes. Loop Gmail attachments. Upload each to Linear via Attachments API. Useful for screenshots, log files, or error dumps in bug reports.
