Know Who Created Each Public Issue
A customer or team member just created a public issue something they think is important enough to track. You want to understand their perspective, but who are they? Their context, history, company? This workflow surfaces their full profile instantly, so you understand their motivation before responding.
Trigger
Public Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue is created in a Linear *public* team. For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_ISSUE_CREATED`.
Action
Get a single person
Use get `/v2/persons/fields` with `fieldids` or `fieldtypes` for detailed data; basic info by default. request multiple fields at once. "export all people" permission needed.
Why this helps
Public issues lack creator context, making it harder to prioritize and respond thoughtfully to what matters to stakeholders.
- Understand creator motivation and context instantly
- Prioritize issues by creator importance
- Respond thoughtfully with full stakeholder understanding
