How do I create a Linear issue when a GitHub PR is opened?

Keep your engineering tracker in lockstep with your repo. Every PR opens a Linear issue, linked back to the PR for one-click navigation.

Can I limit this to PRs from specific authors?
Yes — add a Filter on the author login to only create issues for external contributors, for example.
