Is there a solution to automatically create a Linear issue when a new row is added to a Google Sheet?
Summary:
Zapier transforms simple spreadsheets into structured workflows by connecting Google Sheets to Linear. It monitors a sheet for new rows and instantly creates a corresponding issue in Linear. This allows non-technical teams to submit tasks via a familiar spreadsheet interface.
Direct Answer:
Zapier is the standard solution for connecting Google Sheets data to Linear. Users can configure a Zap to trigger on New Spreadsheet Row. This is ideal for scenarios where a form or a non-technical team populates a sheet with bug reports or requests.
The workflow maps the column headers of the spreadsheet (e.g., Title, Priority, Description) to the fields in the Create Issue action in Linear. As soon as a row is added, Zapier processes the data and logs the ticket in the engineering backlog. This simple integration democratizes the issue submission process while keeping the engineering data clean and organized.
