Triage Incoming Support Tickets into Linear Issues

When customer support volume spikes, keeping engineering and support teams aligned is critical. This workflow pulls conversation history from Slack support channels, creates structured Linear issues with priority and labels, and notifies the relevant team channel so nothing falls through the cracks.

How the workflow runs

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

  1. 1

    Collect support channel messages

    Retrieve recent message history from the designated Slack support channel to identify new customer-reported problems.

    • slack:get_conversation_history
  2. 2

    Search for related prior discussions

    Search Slack for any existing threads that reference the same error or feature to add useful context.

    • slack:search_messages
  3. 3

    Check for duplicate Linear issues

    Search Linear for existing issues that match the reported problem to avoid creating duplicates.

    • linear:search_issues
  4. 4

    Create a structured Linear issue

    Create a new Linear issue with a clear title, description, priority level, and appropriate labels based on the support context.

    • linear:create_issue
  5. 5

    Notify the team in Slack

    Send a message to the engineering or on-call Slack channel with a summary and link to the newly created issue.

    • slack:send_message

Connected systems

Integration

Slack

Slack: connect with bot OAuth or user OAuth. Send, update, delete, and schedule messages; list and cancel scheduled messages; open DMs and group DMs; manage conversations, members, files, reactions, pins, bookmarks, reminders, user groups, and user status; search messages and files with user scopes; and retrieve user, conversation, and workspace info.

Integration

Linear

Create, read, update, and delete issues across teams with support for priorities, labels, assignees, due dates, and workflow states. Manage projects that group related issues, and organize work into time-boxed cycles (sprints). Create and manage documents, comments, and file attachments. Search issues using vector similarity or rich filters. Configure teams, workflow states, and labels. Track customers and link them to issues. Subscribe to real-time webhooks for changes to issues, projects, cycles, comments, documents, and more.
