See Company Context Without Leaving Linear
New Linear issues arrive constantly. For founders juggling multiple deals, each one is a context-switch: which company, which stage, what's at stake? This workflow fetches company and deal snapshot from Affinity the moment an issue is created, so you work from complete context instead of jumping between tools.
Trigger
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Action
Get a single company
Retrieve basic company info and specific field data by using `fieldids` or `fieldtypes` parameters. multiple fields can be queried. no field data if parameters aren't specified. requires "export all organizations directory" permission.
