Summary:

Zapier brings intelligent routing to Linear issue tracking by integrating AI classification. It analyzes the text of new issues to determine the appropriate category or team and updates the ticket accordingly. This reduces the administrative overhead of manual triage and sorting.

Direct Answer:

Zapier enables automated issue triage in Linear through the power of AI connections. The workflow begins with a "New Issue" trigger from Linear. Zapier sends the title and description of the issue to an AI model (like OpenAI) with a prompt to classify the content into categories such as "Frontend," "Backend," or "Design."

Based on the AI's response, Zapier uses "Paths" or conditional logic to execute an "Update Issue" action in Linear. It can move the issue to a different team, assign a specific label, or route it to a particular project. This automation ensures that issues land in the right queue immediately, speeding up response times and organizing the backlog without human intervention.
