How to connect Linear and Bitbucket
Create a New Scenario to Connect Linear and Bitbucket
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Linear, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Linear or Bitbucket will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Linear or Bitbucket, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Linear Node
Select the Linear node from the app selection panel on the right.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Linear, Bitbucket, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Linear and Bitbucket integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Linear and Bitbucket (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Linear and Bitbucket
Linear + Bitbucket + Slack: When a Linear issue is updated to 'Closed', this automation updates the corresponding Bitbucket branch status to reflect the change. A Slack notification is then sent to the team to inform them of the update.
Bitbucket + Linear + Jira: When a new commit comment is added to Bitbucket, the automation updates the corresponding Linear issue with the commit message. If the commit message contains keywords indicating a critical bug, a high-priority issue is automatically created in Jira.
