Stay Responsive: Private Team Issues Auto-Block Your Calendar
New issues in your private Linear team immediately reserve time on your calendar, so you're never caught off-guard by team requests.
Trigger
Private Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue appears in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Action
Create Event
Creates an event on a google calendar, needing rfc3339 utc start/end times (end after start) and write access to the calendar. by default, adds the organizer as an attendee unless exclude organizer is set to true.
Why this helps
Private team issues arrive without calendar visibility, leading to delayed responses and team members feeling ignored or deprioritized.
- Ensures private team issues get dedicated response time
- Prevents team members from feeling ignored when issues aren't immediately addressed
- Centralizes team communication in your calendar for visibility
- Supports team trust by showing commitment to timely issue response

Questions about this workflow
Should I block time for every issue or only specific ones?
You can refine your prompt: 'Only for issues assigned to me' or 'Only for issues labeled urgent' to focus on high-impact items.
What if 30 minutes isn't enough time?
You can customize the block duration in your prompt: 'Block 1 hour for initial review' or 'Block 2 hours for critical issues'.
Can I disable this for specific projects or team members?
Yes. Add filters: 'Skip issues from the Admin team' or 'Only for issues in the Product team'.
