Sprint Planning from Slack Discussions

Capture feature requests and bug reports raised in Slack threads, convert them into structured Linear issues, and organize them into the current sprint with appropriate priorities and assignees.

How the workflow runs

The scenario uses specific integration tools at each step, while Metorial keeps access scoped and visible.

  1. 1

    Scan Slack for Actionable Items

    Read recent messages in designated product and engineering channels, searching for bug reports, feature requests, and customer escalations that have not been tracked yet.

    • slack.get_conversation_history
    • slack.search_messages
  2. 2

    Deduplicate Against Existing Issues

    For each candidate item, search Linear to check whether an issue covering the same topic already exists before proceeding.

    • linear.search_issues
  3. 3

    Create Structured Issues

    Convert each new item into a Linear issue with a clear title, markdown description, priority level, and team assignment based on the context of the Slack discussion.

    • linear.create_issue
  4. 4

    Assign to Active Sprint

    Look up the current sprint cycle and add the new issues to it, setting appropriate workflow states.

    • linear.list_cycles
    • linear.update_issue
  5. 5

    Confirm Back in Slack

    Reply to the original Slack threads with links to the created Linear issues so the team has a clear paper trail.

    • slack.send_message
