How do I fetch a Linear issue?
Short answer: You can get issue in Linear by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Linear Get Issue action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Issue ID issueId | string | Required | The Linear issue UUID or identifier (e.g. ENG-123) |
Sample request
{"issueId": "e.g. ENG-123"}
Returns
{"data": {"issue": {"id": "uuid","url": "https://linear.app/team/issue/ENG-123","state": {"name": "In Progress"},"title": "Fix payment flow","labels": {"nodes": [{"name": "bug"}]},"project": {"name": "Q1 Launch"},"assignee": {"name": "John Doe","email": "john@example.com"},"priority": 2,"identifier": "ENG-123","description": "The checkout page crashes on mobile","priorityLabel": "High"}}}
Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

FAQ
Questions about Get Issue.
What does the Get Issue action do in Linear?
Retrieves a single Linear issue by its identifier (e.g. ENG-123) with title, description, state, assignee, project, and labels. The standard read after a trigger fires.
What inputs does Get Issue require?
Required: Issue ID. 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 Get Issue support batch operations?
Run Get 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.
