How do I trigger when a new Linear issue is created?

Short answer: Drop the "Linear → New Issue" trigger on your workflow canvas, add filters if you want them, and publish. It fires within seconds of the event in Linear, not on a polling schedule.

for the curious

You don’t need to read this. Tiny Command auto-maps every field into the visual picker so downstream nodes can pull values by clicking. We show it here for power users who want to know what’s on the wire.

FAQ

Questions about New Issue.

How does the New Issue trigger work in Linear?

Fires when a new issue is created in Linear. The standard inbound hook for routing, enrichment, and SLA-aware notifications.

Is the New Issue trigger real-time?

Yes. New Issue uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Linear.

What data does New Issue return?

The full event payload from Linear. The output shape table on this page lists every field, its type, and an example value so you can map fields into downstream nodes.

Can I filter New Issue so only some events start a workflow?

Yes. Add a Filter node right after the trigger and match on any field, whether that's subject, sender, status, or anything else in the payload. Workflows only continue when the filter passes.

Do I need Linear admin permissions to use New Issue?

For most Linear accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some Linear plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check Linear's docs if the trigger fails to register.
