Sentry error-spike to auto-filed Linear bug

Watches Sentry for a sudden jump in a new or regressed issue's event rate and files a deduplicated Linear bug with the stack trace, affected release, and a direct Sentry link.

How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

What it does

Turns a Sentry error spike into a ready-to-triage Linear ticket automatically, so an engineer never has to manually copy a stack trace into the tracker at 2am.

When to use it

Use it when your on-call rotation lives in Linear and you want every meaningful error regression captured as a tracked bug without watching dashboards. Best for teams that already tag issues with a service or team owner in Sentry.

How it works

  1. 1Sentry fires its issue-alert webhook when an issue's event frequency crosses your configured threshold.
  2. 2A filter drops anything below the spike count or flagged as already-resolved, so noise never reaches the tracker.
  3. 3The flow searches Linear for an existing ticket carrying the Sentry issue ID to avoid duplicates.
  4. 4If none exists, it creates a Linear issue with the culprit, stack trace, first/last seen, affected release, and a deep link back to Sentry.
  5. 5It posts the new ticket URL back as a Sentry comment so both systems stay cross-linked.

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
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  4. 4
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  5. 5
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
