Linear integration enables automatic issue creation for failures that Bugzy triages as product bugs. When tests fail and Bugzy determines the failure is a genuine product issue, it creates an issue in your Linear team with full reproduction details.

​
What Linear enables

  • Automatic issue creation — Triaged product failures are filed as Linear issues without manual intervention
  • Duplicate detection — Bugzy searches existing issues before creating new ones to avoid duplicates
  • Rich bug reports — Issues include reproduction steps, error details, screenshots, and environment info
  • Priority mapping — Issue priority is set based on failure severity and impact

​

How issue creation works

The issue creation flow follows the same pattern as Jira bug filing:
  1. Test execution — Bugzy runs tests and collects results
  2. Triage — Bugzy analyzes failures, categorizing each as: product bug, test issue, or environment problem
  3. Duplicate check — For product bugs, the agent searches existing Linear issues to avoid duplicates
  4. Create issue — If no duplicate exists, an issue is created with structured details
  5. Notify team — If Slack/Teams is connected, the team is notified about the new issue

Troubleshooting

Issues not being created — Verify the Linear connection is active and the team mapping is configured. Check that the connected user has permission to create issues in the target team. Duplicate issues being filed — The agent uses title and error signature matching for duplicate detection. If you see duplicates, ensure the team mapping is correct. “Forbidden” errors — The OAuth token may lack required permissions. Disconnect and reconnect Linear from the project connections page to re-authorize.
