Create Tracking Tasks When Linear Project Status Updates
Post a project status update in Linear, and we create a tracking task in Bugherd so nothing gets overlooked.
Trigger
Project Update Posted
Fires when a project status update is posted on the Linear project's Updates tab. Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token.
Action
Create Task
Tool to add a new task in a project. use when you have the project id and full task details ready.
Why this helps
You post status updates on Linear projects, but action items from those updates don't automatically get tracked, so they slip away.
- Status updates generate tracked action items
- Ensures follow-ups are never forgotten
- Improves project visibility
- Reduces reliance on manual tracking
- Accelerates project momentum
Setup

- 1Connect Linear and Bugherd integrations.
- 2Create this automation: 'When a status update is posted on a Linear project, create a task in Bugherd to track the update and any next steps.'
- 3Select 'Project Update Posted' as your trigger.
- 4Pick your notification channel.
- 5Test by posting a status update on a Linear project and verifying the Bugherd task appears.
Questions about this workflow
What if the status update doesn't mention action items?
Notis creates a general tracking task. You can manually add details or Notis can ask you to clarify actions.
Does it include the full update text?
Yes, the update content is copied to the Bugherd task description.
Can I filter which projects generate tasks?
Yes, tell Notis which projects to track, e.g., 'only from the Product roadmap project.'
