Automatically convert GitHub issues into Linear tasks and notify your team in Slack when critical bugs are reported.

Workflow Steps

1

Zapier

Trigger on new GitHub issue

Set up a webhook trigger that activates whenever a new issue is created in your GitHub repository. Filter for issues with 'bug' or 'critical' labels to focus on important problems.

2

Linear

Create task from issue data

Use Zapier's Linear integration to automatically create a new task. Map the GitHub issue title to the Linear task name, description to details, and assign priority based on GitHub labels (critical = urgent, bug = high).

3

Slack

Send team notification

Post a formatted message to your development team's Slack channel with the bug details, Linear task link, and GitHub issue link. Include @channel for critical issues or specific team member mentions based on the component affected.
