TICKET MANAGEMENT

Link recurring Sentry crash signatures to a canonical Linear bug

When a Sentry issue fires, it matches the crash fingerprint against a registry of known signatures and either attaches the event to the existing canonical Linear ticket or opens…

What it does

Turns every new Sentry crash into a routing decision: is this a fresh bug or another instance of one you already track? Matching events get appended to a single canonical Linear ticket instead of spawning duplicates, so a recurring crash stays as one ticket with a rising occurrence count.

When to use it

When one underlying defect produces a storm of near-identical Sentry issues (different stack frames, same root) and your Linear backlog fills with duplicates that nobody can triage. Best for teams that want exactly one ticket per signature.

How it works

  1. 1A new or regressed Sentry issue triggers the flow with its fingerprint, culprit, and stack hash.
  2. 2The flow queries a Postgres signature registry for a matching fingerprint.
  3. 3If a canonical ticket already exists, it comments on that Linear issue with the new event, occurrence count, and affected release.
  4. 4If no match, it creates a new Linear bug, then writes the fingerprint and Linear issue ID back to the registry as the new canonical record.
  5. 5It links the Sentry issue to the Linear ticket so both sides stay in sync.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect SentryErrors, performance, releases.
  2. 2
    Connect LinearIssues, projects, cycles, triage.
  3. 3
    Connect PostgresAny Postgres URL — query, write, migrate.
  4. 4
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  5. 5
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  6. 6
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
