Connect Linear to Bridge: issues from meetings, with triage
Connect Linear and Bridge can pull issues, projects and comments into meeting context, then create issues from what was discussed. It's most useful with a review step in place, so a passing comment doesn't become a backlog item.
What the connection does
| Direction | What happens | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Linear into Bridge | Bridge pulls issues, projects and comments into meeting context | For example, a project's open issues as context for its review |
| Bridge into Linear | Bridge creates Linear issues from meeting content | An action item from a call becomes an issue |
| Agents | An agent with Linear turned on can create issues and pull project context | An agent creates issues after a bug triage call |
Connect it
Linear sits in the Projects category. Project tool connections need a paid Bridge plan, Professional or above, and new accounts can try them during the 14-day Professional trial.
- Go to Account settings → Integrations, and find the Projects category.
- Select Connect next to Linear.
- Log in and authorize Bridge in the browser window that opens.
- Bridge returns you to the integrations page.
Where it shows up
- Before a meeting: the Assistant's Linear action creates issues to prepare for the call.
- During a meeting: the Assistant can create issues from decisions and topics raised so far.
- After a meeting: a workflow plan can propose a Linear step, which you can approve, revise or skip.
- Automatically: an agent with an after-every-meeting trigger runs against the recap and transcript.
Use Triage as your safety net
Linear's Triage is an inbox where a team reviews incoming issues before they join its workflow. Linear says issues created through an integration default to Triage, as do those from people outside the team, once a team turns it on.
So turn on Triage in Linear under Team Settings, then create one test issue from Bridge and see where it lands. Team templates can change the default status, so check before you rely on it.
Example: a weekly bug review
This setup is illustrative. A team reviews bugs on Tuesdays, and wants issues filed without anyone typing during the call.
On the completed meeting, someone opens the Assistant and picks Plan and execute next steps. The plan lists proposed steps based on the action items, and can include Linear. They revise the titles, skip anything already filed, and approve the rest.
Permissions and control
Bridge respects your Linear permissions. Agents and automations only reach the projects and issues you can access, nothing more.
An after-every-meeting trigger runs after every meeting, without approving each step. So write instructions that stop on every meeting except one recurring call, and test with an @mention first. That's an instruction, not a control, so review its first runs closely.
Limits and fixes
- Duplicates: a plan can still propose an issue you already have, so check Linear first. Linear's Triage lets you mark duplicates.
- Vague titles: spoken action items often need rewriting before they make good issues.
- A step says needs connection: connect Linear, then activate or approve the step.
- No agent options: custom agents, agentic workflows and workflow plans need a paid Bridge plan.
- To remove it: select Disconnect on the Linear card in your integrations.
