TICKET MANAGEMENT

Weight Intercom bugs by customer impact before setting Linear priority

On a new bug-tagged conversation, this looks up the customer's plan and account value, counts how many other open conversations mention the same issue.

What it does

Files a Linear bug whose priority reflects real customer impact rather than whoever shouted loudest. It pulls the reporting customer's plan tier and MRR from Intercom attributes, searches open Intercom conversations for the same symptom to gauge blast radius, computes an impact score, and creates the Linear issue at a matching priority with a labeled rationale.

When to use it

When your Linear backlog priorities don't track business impact, and enterprise-blocking bugs sit at the same level as cosmetic complaints from free accounts.

How it works

  1. 1A new Intercom conversation tagged "bug" fires the trigger.
  2. 2The flow reads the customer's plan, MRR, and seat count from Intercom contact attributes.
  3. 3It searches Intercom for other open conversations matching the symptom keywords to count affected customers.
  4. 4A logic step computes a weighted impact score from plan tier, dollar value, and conversation count, mapping it to a Linear priority band.
  5. 5A Linear issue is created at that priority with impact labels and a one-line rationale in the description.
  6. 6The flow writes the assigned priority and affected-account count back as an Intercom note.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect IntercomConversations, contacts, articles.
  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.
