Why this helps
Bug reports get mixed in with feature requests and chores in Linear, losing visibility and falling through the cracks.
- Bugs get dedicated tracking in Bugherd
- Prevents bugs from being lost in general workflows
- Faster bug identification and prioritization
- Clear separation from feature work
- Reduces severity misclassification
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Linear and Bugherd accounts to Notis.
- 2Create this automation: 'When an issue in Linear is labeled bug, create a new task in Bugherd's bug tracking project.'
- 3Select 'Issue Properties Updated' as your trigger to detect label changes.
- 4Choose your notification channel.
- 5Test by labeling an issue as bug in Linear and verify the Bugherd task appears.
Questions about this workflow
What if my team uses a different label for bugs, e.g., defect?
Tell Notis which label to watch for, e.g., 'create a Bugherd task when tagged with defect or bug.'
Does it copy the bug description and steps to reproduce?
Yes, all issue details are copied to the Bugherd task.
Can bugs stay in Linear too, or just in Bugherd?
Bugs are logged in Bugherd but remain in Linear. You can optionally close the Linear issue once confirmed.
