How Linear Trigger Works
Event-driven automation for seamless project management
Technical Overview: Event-Based Automation
Linear Trigger functions as a webhook-based listener that:
- Connects to your Linear workspace via secure API authentication
- Listens for specific events like issue creation, updates, or comments
- Triggers automated workflows in n8n when events occur
- Provides detailed event data for processing in subsequent workflow steps
Implementation is straightforward:
- Create a Linear API key in your Linear settings
- Configure the Linear Trigger node in n8n with your credentials
- Select which events to monitor
- Build your workflow using the event data
This event-driven approach ensures your automations respond in real-time to changes in your project management system.
