Helping export follow-ups to Linear

Happy new year from all of us here at incident.io, and welcome to 2023!

Default export configuration

When you configure your Linear integration, it's now possible for you to define some defaults about where in Linear you want follow-ups to be exported to. This makes it easy for everyone to export issues to the right place, as the values are set by default. It also means that it's a little bit speedier - no need to select the same value from a dropdown over and over.

Of course, sometimes it'll depend on the incident where in Linear an issue should be created. For that, we can use Expressions. With Expressions, we can choose which Linear Team or Project a follow-up should be exported to, based on properties of the incident such as a custom field.

Workflow step: export to Linear

If you want to go one step further, we've also added a new Workflow step to export a follow-up to Linear. That means that you can create a workflow which exports follow-ups immediately to Linear, without any extra clicks.

Again, if you'd like to export follow-ups to different places depending on the incident, you can use Expressions to customise your workflow.
