Automatically Create Linear Issues from Gmail Support Request Messages

This n8n template watches a Gmail inbox for support messages and creates an equivalent issue item in Linear.

How it works A scheduled trigger fetches recent Gmail messages from the inbox which collects support requests. These support requests are filtered to ensure they are only processed once and their HTML body is converted to markdown for easier parsing. Each support request is then triaged via an AI Agent which adds appropriate labels, assesses priority and summarises a title and description of the original request. Finally, the AI generated values are used to create an issue in Linear to be actioned.

How to use Ensure the messages fetched are solely support requests otherwise you'll need to classify messages before processing them. Specify the labels and priorities to use in the system prompt of the AI agent.
