Effortless Bug Reporting: Slack Slash Command to Linear Issue

• Instant Linear Issue Creation: Create a new Linear bug issue with a single Slack slash command.
• Structured Bug Description: Automatically populates the Linear issue with a rich template for description, expected behavior, actual behavior, and reproduction steps.
• Real-time User Feedback: Notifies the bug reporter in Slack with a direct link to the newly created Linear issue, prompting for more details.
• Seamless Integration: Connects your Slack communication hub directly with your Linear issue tracker.
• Customizable Setup: Easily configure your Linear team and label IDs using built-in helper nodes to match your project's needs.

To set up this powerful Slack to Linear bug reporting workflow, follow these steps:

1. Configure your Slack App:
   • Create a new Slack App at https://api.slack.com/apps.
   • Under OAuth & Permissions, add the chat:write scope to Bot Token Scopes.
   • Go to Slash Commands and create a new command. Use /bug as the command, and copy the Test URL from the Bug Webhook node in n8n into the Request URL field.
   • Install the app to your workspace.
2. Add Linear Credentials: In n8n, create or select an existing Linear OAuth2 API credential.
3. Identify Linear IDs: Run the 'Helper nodes' (Get all linear teams and Get linear labels for a team) by executing them to easily find your desired Linear teamId and labelIds.
4. Update Set me up Node: Populate the teamId and labelIds in the Set me up node with the IDs you obtained from the previous step.
5. Activate Workflow: Before activating, ensure you replace the Test URL in your Slack Slash Command configuration with the Production URL of the Bug Webhook node for your live environment.
6. Test the Workflow: In Slack, type /bug [your bug description], and observe the new Linear issue being created and the confirmation message returning in Slack!
