How this automation works
Create Linear issues automatically from Email messages tagged with a hashtag. When you send an email with the configured hashtag in the subject to your IFTTT address, this Applet creates a new issue in Linear using the email subject and body, and you choose the Linear team when installing. Ideal for teams who want teammates to file bugs, ideas, or to-dos by Email, letting Linear capture tasks without opening the app.
