How to connect Linear and Google Sheets
Create a New Scenario to Connect Linear and Google Sheets
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 Sheets will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Linear or Google Sheets, 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, Google Sheets, 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 Sheets integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Linear and Google Sheets (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 Sheets
Linear + Google Sheets + Slack: When a Linear issue is updated, specifically when it's resolved, the details are added to a Google Sheet. Then, a Slack message is sent to a designated channel to notify the relevant team members about the resolution.
Google Sheets + Linear + Jira: When a new row is added to a Google Sheet, a Linear issue is created. If the 'Create Jira Ticket' column in the Google Sheet is marked as 'Yes', a linked Jira ticket is created for the new Linear issue.
