CUSTOMER SUPPORT

Build a reproducible bug report from a Zendesk ticket into Linear

When a support agent tags a Zendesk ticket as a bug, this assembles a structured, reproducible bug report by pulling the customer's session logs and environment metadata.

What it does

Turns a messy support conversation into an engineer-ready bug report. It reads the Zendesk thread, extracts the affected user and timeframe, pulls matching Sentry events for stack traces and runtime context, and creates a Linear issue with clear repro steps, environment details, and a link back to the ticket.

When to use it

Use when your support team triages bugs in Zendesk but engineers need a consistent, complete report before they'll pick up work. Ideal for teams that lose time bouncing tickets back for "more info."

How it works

  1. 1A Zendesk ticket is tagged `bug` (trigger).
  2. 2The flow fetches the full ticket, requester, and custom fields from Zendesk.
  3. 3It queries Sentry for events matching the requester's email or user ID within the ticket's time window, grabbing the latest stack trace and release/browser/OS metadata.
  4. 4A logic step decides: if a Linear issue already references this Sentry fingerprint, comment on it instead of duplicating.
  5. 5Otherwise it creates a Linear issue with templated repro steps, env table, and ticket link.
  6. 6It posts the new issue URL back as an internal Zendesk note so agents can track status.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect ZendeskTickets, queues, knowledge base.
  2. 2
    Connect SentryErrors, performance, releases.
  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.
