Automatically create Linear issues from meeting transcripts

When meetings end with a list of action items, manually turning them into Linear issues can slow things down. This workflow keeps projects moving by automatically creating assignable Linear tickets whenever a meeting note is added to a shared Space.

By combining shared Spaces, AI Quick Prompts, and Linear integration, your team can instantly turn discussions into trackable tasks, ready to assign to the right people without extra effort.


How it works

Imagine you’re part of a product or engineering team where every meeting ends with a list of tasks: fixes to make, features to refine, or bugs to verify. Instead of manually creating Linear issues from those notes, this workflow does it for you.

Whenever a meeting note is added to your team’s shared Space, the workflow runs an AI prompt to capture key action items and creates Linear issues for each one.

By checking Allow others to trigger this workflow, anyone in the Space can use it so engineers, QA, and project leads can turn their own meeting notes into ready-to-assign tasks without extra steps.


Setting it up

  • Click New workflow and name it Create Linear issues from meetings.

  • Under Trigger type, select Automatic, then choose Added to Space.

    • This means the workflow runs whenever a transcript is added to a specific Space, such as Engineering or Product Development.

    • Check Allow others to trigger this workflow so anyone with access to the Space can use the same automation when they add their own meeting notes.

  • Add the AI: Use a Quick Prompt step.

    • Select a prompt such as Action items to extract next steps from the transcript.

    • Turn on Save the result to the meeting to keep the output linked to the original transcript.

  • Add the Share to an integration step.

    • Choose Linear and select your workspace and team.

    • For Title, use {{ meeting.title }}.

    • For Description, use {{ step1.output }} to include the AI-generated tasks.

  • Click Save.

Now, whenever someone adds a meeting to the shared Space, the workflow will automatically create Linear issues for each action item, ready to review, assign, and track.


Variation to try

If your organization uses separate Spaces for different projects or teams, duplicate this workflow and adjust the Space and AI prompt to match each one.

For example:

  • Use Sprint Planning or Release Review Spaces to generate development-specific issues.

  • Create a version for QA meetings that uses an AI prompt like Bug triage summary.

  • Build one for Product discussions to track feature ideas or backlog updates.

Each variation still benefits from Allow others to trigger this workflow, so teammates working in those Spaces can run the same automation and keep issue creation consistent across teams.


What you’ll get

  • Automatic creation of Linear issues from meeting transcripts, saving time and keeping your backlog up to date.

  • Consistent task tracking across Spaces so every team stays aligned on next steps.

  • A collaborative workflow that anyone in the Space can trigger, helping teams move from discussion to action without extra setup.
