- 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, Harvest, 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 Harvest integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Linear and Harvest (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 Harvest
Linear + Harvest + Slack: When a Linear issue is resolved, this automation retrieves the tracked time for that issue from Harvest and sends a summary of the time logged to a designated Slack channel.
Harvest + Google Calendar + Linear: This flow checks Harvest time entries against Google Calendar events. If a Harvest time entry doesn't have a corresponding Google Calendar event, a new issue is created in Linear.
