PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Prompt the adder to name the stakeholder when a ticket is added mid-sprint

When a Linear issue is added after the sprint is committed, this posts a Slack message to the person who added it asking which stakeholder requested it.

What it does

Closes the attribution gap at the moment scope grows. The instant someone adds a ticket to a committed sprint, the workflow direct-messages that person in Slack and asks them to name the requesting stakeholder, capturing the answer back onto the Linear issue.

When to use it

Use it when mid-sprint additions are common and you want attribution captured while it's fresh, instead of reconstructing it weeks later. Best for teams that already live in Slack and resist filling out forms.

How it works

  1. 1A Linear webhook fires on an issue added to the active cycle.
  2. 2A filter drops issues added before the cycle start so only true scope creep continues.
  3. 3The flow resolves the adder's Slack identity from their Linear email.
  4. 4It sends a Slack message with quick-reply buttons listing known stakeholders plus a free-text option.
  5. 5On reply, the chosen stakeholder is written into a custom field and comment on the Linear issue.
  6. 6A confirmation is posted back in Slack as the output.
