TICKET MANAGEMENT

Cluster Repeated Front Tickets into a Linear Problem Record

Watches incoming Front conversations, groups them by recurring signature, and when the same issue crosses a threshold within a rolling window it opens a single Linear problem…

How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • ActionCreate Linear problem issue with occurrence countLinearLinear
  • OutputComment each contributing Front conversation with Linear linkFront

What it does

Turns a flood of look-alike support tickets into one tracked problem. As Front conversations arrive, the workflow normalizes each into a signature (subject keywords plus tag), counts how often that signature has appeared in the last 7 days, and once it crosses your threshold it creates a Linear issue labeled `problem` and back-links all the source conversations.

When to use it

Use it when support keeps closing the same ticket over and over and nobody ever files the underlying bug. Good for SaaS support teams who want recurring pain surfaced to engineering automatically instead of relying on an agent to notice the pattern by hand.

How it works

  1. 1A new or updated Front conversation triggers the run.
  2. 2The conversation is reduced to a stable signature and written to a Postgres incidents table.
  3. 3A count query checks how many matching signatures occurred in the rolling window.
  4. 4If the count is below threshold, the run exits quietly.
  5. 5If it crosses the threshold and no open problem exists yet, a Linear issue is created with the signature, occurrence count, and affected accounts.
  6. 6Every contributing Front conversation gets a comment linking to the new Linear problem.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect FrontShared inbox, conversations.
  2. 2
    Connect PostgresAny Postgres URL — query, write, migrate.
  3. 3
    Connect LinearIssues, projects, cycles, triage.
  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.
