Technical Overview: Event-Based Automation

Linear Trigger functions as a webhook-based listener that:

1. Connects to your Linear workspace via secure API authentication
2. Listens for specific events like issue creation, updates, or comments
3. Triggers automated workflows in n8n when events occur
4. 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.
