How to connect Linear and Google Drive
Create a New Scenario to Connect Linear and Google Drive
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 Google Drive will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Linear or Google Drive, 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.

- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Linear, Google Drive, 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 Google Drive integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Linear and Google Drive (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 Google Drive
Linear + Google Drive + Slack: When a Linear issue is updated to a resolved state, archive related documents in Google Drive by moving them to a designated 'Archive' folder. A notification is then sent to a Slack channel informing the team of the archived documents linked to the resolved issue.
Google Drive + Linear + Jira: When a Google Drive document is updated, a new bug report is created in Linear and a comment with a link to the Linear issue is added to the corresponding Jira task.
