1.1 Workflow description

Title
Create Linear tickets from Notion content
Workflow name
Create Linear tickets from Notion content

This workflow allows you to define multiple tickets/issues in a Notion page, then easily import them into Linear.

Why is it useful?

We use this workflow internally at n8n for collaboration between Product and Engineering teams:

  • Engineering needs all work to be in our ticketing system (Linear) in order to keep track of it
  • Product prefers to review features in Notion. This is because it and can be used to dump all your thoughts and organise them into themes afterwards, plus it better supports rich content like videos

Features

  • Supports rich formatting (bullets, images, videos, links, etc.)
  • Keeps links between the Notion and Linear version, in case you need to refer back
  • Allows you to assign each issue to a team member in the Notion definition
  • Avoids importing the same issues twice if you run it again on the same page (meaning you can issues incrementally)

You can see an example of the required format of the Notion page here.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/2138/2138.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
