Create Linear issues from responses

You can create a Linear issue for each new response. The answers go in the issue description. It works on every plan.

First create a personal API key in Linear, under Settings, Security & access.

1. Open your form and go to Automations.
2. On the Linear card, click Add.
3. Paste the key into API key and click Load teams.
4. Choose a Team. New issues are created in that team.
5. To change the issue title, fill in Issue title. Write {form name} where the form's name should go. Leave it blank to use "New response: {form name}".
6. Click Connect.

#What the issue contains

The description lists each question in bold with its answer below. Empty answers are skipped. Uploaded files appear as links.

Signature images and fields that look like passwords, tokens or card numbers are left out. The description names what was left out.

An answer is cut at 2,000 characters and the whole description at 10,000. When answers don't fit, the description says how many were left out.

Makeform doesn't set a project, label, assignee, status or priority. Your team's defaults in Linear apply.

#Keep the key private

The key acts as you in your Linear workspace. Makeform stores it encrypted and only shows its last four characters. Use a personal API key; OAuth tokens aren't supported.

#Limits

You can connect one Linear team per form. You can't choose which questions are sent.

A failed issue isn't created again. If Linear reports the key as invalid, Makeform turns the integration off and the card shows why. Save a new key to turn it back on.
