What you can automate

Bug reports and feature requests happen in Slack. Flomation captures them directly into Linear — triggered by an emoji reaction, a keyword mention, or a channel command — so nothing falls through the cracks.

Create issues from emoji reactions, generate bug tickets on keyword mention, update issue status from Slack, and assign tickets from DMs.

FAQ

Can I update an existing Linear issue from a Slack message?

Yes. Use a keyword pattern to match an issue ID in the message (e.g. ENG-123) and trigger an Update Issue Status or Add Comment action in Linear.

Can the person who reacted to a Slack message be set as the Linear issue reporter?

Yes. Map the Slack reaction user field to the Linear issue reporter or creator field in your workflow.

Can I create a Linear bug automatically when someone types 'bug' in a Slack channel?

Yes. Use Keyword Mentioned with 'bug' as the keyword and Create Issue in Linear as the action. The message content becomes the issue description.
