Automate Linear Issue Creation from Notion Tasks
detail.loadingPreview
Seamlessly transform your Notion tasks into actionable Linear issues. This workflow automatically extracts task details and creates corresponding issues in your Linear project, streamlining your team's development process.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow bridges the gap between your Notion task management and your Linear issue tracking. It's designed to capture essential information from Notion blocks, process it, and then create new issues within a specified Linear team. The process starts by taking a Notion block URL, parsing it to identify the task title and potential assignee, and then fetching relevant team details from Linear. If the team is found, it proceeds to create a Linear issue with the extracted title, description (including a link back to the original Notion block), and assigns it if an assignee can be identified. This ensures that your team stays aligned and that no task falls through the cracks, automating a repetitive and time-consuming manual process.
Key Features
- Automated Issue Creation: Convert Notion tasks into Linear issues with minimal manual intervention.
- Intelligent Data Extraction: Automatically parses task titles and identifies potential assignees from the first line of a Notion block.
- Bidirectional Linking: Includes a direct link back to the original Notion block within the Linear issue description for easy reference.
- Team and Member Matching: Fetches Linear team details to accurately assign issues to team members.
- Configurable Workflows: Easily adaptable to different Notion structures and Linear team configurations.
How To Use
- Trigger Setup: Configure your n8n workflow to be triggered by a Notion block URL, likely using the 'n8n Form Trigger' or a similar input node.
- Fetch Linear Team Details: Input the name of your Linear team into the 'Fetch Linear team details' node. Ensure your Linear API credentials are correctly set up.
- Determine Task Information: The 'Set assignee and title' node will process the input to extract the task title and a fragment of the assignee's name from the Notion content. It will also attempt to find a matching assignee within your Linear team.
- Handle Missing Teams: The 'Team missing?' node acts as a safeguard. If no matching team is found in Linear, the workflow can be configured to alert you or take alternative actions.
- Get Notion Block Content: The 'Get issue contents' node retrieves the full content of the Notion block, which will be used to form the issue description.
- Prepare Issue Data: The 'Prepare issue data' node constructs the final title and description for the Linear issue. It includes a link back to the Notion block and any relevant assignee information.
- Create Linear Issue: The 'Create linear issue' node uses the prepared data to create a new issue in your specified Linear team, assigning it if a match was found.
