What it does

Gives support a one-tag handoff to engineering. The moment an agent tags a ticket `bug`, the workflow finds the related Sentry issue and files a Linear bug that already contains the crash group, breadcrumbs, affected-user count, release, and the originating ticket link, so engineers never have to reconstruct the report.

When to use it

Use it when support escalates crashes to engineering and you want every Linear bug to arrive with reproduction context attached, plus a clean trail linking the ticket and the issue.

How it works

  1. 1Tagging a Zendesk ticket `bug` triggers the run.
  2. 2The ticket text is matched against Sentry to locate the crash group, latest breadcrumbs, and affected-user count.
  3. 3A logic step picks the Linear team and priority from the affected-user count and Sentry severity.
  4. 4A Linear issue is created with the full context block and the Zendesk ticket URL.
  5. 5The Linear issue URL is posted back as an internal comment on the ticket and it is marked pending engineering.
