How this automation works

Post a Linear issue summary to Slack when an iOS Shortcut runs. When a Shortcut automation starts and passes an issue identifier or search words, the applet asks Linear for the matching issue and posts its title, status, assignee, and link to your Slack channel. Great for sharing Linear issue links and status with your team in Slack for quick triage and updates. Note: Customize the message to fit your tone.
