Hey everyone, I use this resource for the first time as I need to set up a Zap and haven’t been able to figure out how. I need to set up an inactivity trigger for a specific Team in Linear. The idea is that this zap can identify when no new comments have been made on an issue for 2 weeks. Whenever this happens I need it to change status and/or send a message to Slack.

Is there a way to do this? I have used the copilot, help function and ChatGPT which all give me very different answers with Zap actions I don’t have available.

Hi @CloserSA 

Linear Zap app triggers/actions: https://zapier.com/apps/linear/integrations#triggers-and-actions

There does not appear to be a trigger related to inactivity.

You may want to try reaching out to Linear Support for possible guidance with their app and their Zap app integration for how you might go about triggering on issue inactivity or for searching for issues that have inactivity.

That may involve using the Linear API: https://developers.linear.app/docs/graphql/working-with-the-graphql-api
