Summary:

Zapier automates the incident response workflow by linking Sentry error monitoring with Linear issue tracking. When Sentry detects a new exception, Zapier instantly creates a corresponding bug report in Linear. This ensures that critical technical issues are logged and assigned to developers without manual triage.

Direct Answer:

Zapier provides the critical infrastructure to bridge Sentry and Linear, turning automated error alerts into actionable engineering tasks. Users can configure a Zap that triggers whenever Sentry captures a "New Event" or specific alert rule breach. Zapier extracts the error message, the affected environment, and the link to the stack trace.

The workflow then maps this data to the "Create Issue" action in Linear. The error title becomes the issue title, and the full technical details are populated into the description. This integration guarantees that every new crash or bug detected by Sentry is immediately visible on the product board, reducing the time between detection and resolution.
