Question 1

Can Salesforce cases become Linear issues automatically?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Run a Salesforce Execute SOQL Query on a cron schedule to pull new cases, iterate over the results, and call the Linear Create Issue operation for each. Customer requests then land as tracked engineering work.

Question 2

Can a finished Linear issue update a Salesforce record?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Linear On Issue Change trigger fires when an issue's state changes. Connect it to a Salesforce Update Single Record step keyed by a record ID so the account team sees the resolution in the CRM.

Question 3

Can I notify the Salesforce account team when something ships?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Salesforce node supports Post Message to Chatter Feed. Trigger it from a Linear On Project Change or On Issue Change event so milestones and releases reach the people who own the customer relationship.

Question 4

How do I match a Linear issue back to the right Salesforce record?

Accepted Answer

Store the Salesforce record ID on the Linear issue when it is created, for example in the description or a label. The reverse workflow then reads that ID and uses Update Single Record to target the correct case or opportunity.
