Linear now offers a Zapier app (in beta) that lets you automate issue creation from external tools like Intercom, email, or databases. The app is open source on GitHub and accepts community contributions. This release also includes label filtering improvements, keyboard shortcuts, and various UI and performance fixes.
Zapier integration
We've created a Zapier app that lets you create automation that publish issues to Linear.
Want to create a new issue when a tag has been added to an Intercom conversation? Or create a bug report when you receive an email message with specific keywords? Or create an issue whenever a custom database query returns a new row? Now you can.
The Zapier app hasn't launched publicly yet, but you can join our beta today.
We're developing the integration as an open source project and it's available on GitHub. Feel free to submit pull requests if there's something you'd like to add to it.
Label improvements
You can now filter for issues that don't have any labels. In the filter menu select Filter by label > No label. This filter can be mixed and matched with other label filters, so you can now filter for issues that either a specific label or no labels at all. Labels can now be removed using the Shift+L keyboard shortcut.
