How do I create a Linear issue from a workflow?

Short answer: You can create issue in Linear by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Linear Create Issue action to a workflow, map its 6 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Create Issue.

What does the Create Issue action do in Linear?

Creates a new issue in a Linear team with title, description (Markdown), state, priority, assignee, labels, project, and cycle. Standard write for piping external alerts or bug reports into Linear.

What inputs does Create Issue require?

Required: Team ID, Title. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Linear returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Linear returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Create Issue support batch operations?

Run Create Issue inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Linear's rate limits.
