TICKET MANAGEMENT

Front-to-Linear Recurring Bug Linker

When a Front ticket is tagged as a bug, it searches Linear for an existing matching issue and either links the ticket to that parent issue or opens a new tracked one.

How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerFront conversation tagged 'bug'Front
  • ActionExtract problem signature with OpenAIOpenAI
  • ActionSearch open Linear issues for matchLinearLinear
  • LogicBranch: existing issue vs new
  • ActionLink report or create parent issue in LinearLinearLinear
  • OutputReply on Front with Linear issue URLFront

What it does

This workflow stops support and engineering from tracking the same bug twice. When an agent tags a Front conversation as a bug, it checks whether Linear already has an open issue for it, links the customer report to that issue, and bumps an occurrence counter so prioritization reflects real volume.

When to use it

Use it when support triages bugs in Front but engineering works them in Linear, and the same defect keeps generating new tickets that fragment the impact picture.

How it works

  1. 1Adding the `bug` tag to a Front conversation triggers the flow.
  2. 2OpenAI extracts a concise problem signature from the conversation body.
  3. 3The flow searches open Linear issues for a matching signature.
  4. 4A logic branch decides: existing issue found, or none.
  5. 5If found, Linear appends the Front link and increments a `reports` count in the issue; if not, Linear creates a new tracked issue as the parent.
  6. 6Front replies on the conversation with the linked Linear issue URL so the agent can set expectations.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect FrontShared inbox, conversations.
  2. 2
    Connect LinearIssues, projects, cycles, triage.
  3. 3
    Connect OpenAIModels, embeddings, files.
  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.
