PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Mirror new Trello cards into Linear issues

When a card lands in a designated Trello list, this creates a matching Linear issue and writes the issue URL back onto the card so both tools share one source of truth.

How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerNew card added to watched Trello listTrelloTrello
  • LogicSkip if card already linked to a Linear issue
  • ActionCreate Linear issue from card fieldsLinearLinear
  • ActionWrite Linear link back onto Trello cardTrelloTrello
  • OutputPost created-issue confirmation to SlackSlack

What it does

Watches a specific Trello list (for example a "Ready for Engineering" column) and, for every new card, opens a corresponding Linear issue with the card's title and description carried over. It then comments the new issue link back on the Trello card so stakeholders and engineers are always looking at the same work item.

When to use it

Use it when product or operations triage in Trello but engineering executes in Linear. It removes the manual copy-paste handoff and the inevitable drift where a card exists but no issue was ever filed.

How it works

  1. 1A Trello trigger fires when a card is added to the watched list.
  2. 2A logic step checks the card has no existing Linear link in its description, preventing duplicates on re-triggers.
  3. 3A Linear action creates an issue in the mapped team, mapping the card title, body, and any matching label.
  4. 4A Trello action attaches the Linear issue URL and ID to the card as a comment and custom field.
  5. 5The flow outputs a Slack confirmation to the intake channel with both links.
