Dedupe Intercom bug reports against open Linear issues

Before filing a new Linear bug from an Intercom thread, this checks for an existing matching issue and, if found, links the customer to it as a new occurrence instead of creating…

What it does

Stops duplicate bug tickets. When an Intercom conversation is tagged as a bug, the workflow searches Linear for an existing open issue describing the same problem. If a strong match exists, it appends the new customer occurrence as a comment and bumps a count instead of opening a fresh issue; only genuinely new bugs become new Linear issues.

When to use it

Use when a single bug generates a flood of support tickets and your Linear board fills with near-identical issues. Consolidating occurrences gives engineers an accurate signal of how many customers are affected.

How it works

  1. 1An Intercom conversation is tagged `bug`, firing the trigger.
  2. 2The agent summarizes the issue and derives a search query.
  3. 3It searches Linear for open issues matching the symptom and area.
  4. 4A logic step decides: confident match versus no match.
  5. 5On a match, it comments the new customer, conversation link, and timestamp onto the existing issue.
  6. 6On no match, it creates a new scoped Linear issue.
  7. 7Either way, the resolved Linear URL is written back to the Intercom conversation as a note.
