Create bug investigation folders in Google Drive as bugs arrive in Linear
A bug is created in Linear, and then someone manually creates a folder in Drive to store screenshots, reproductions, and fixes. This automation does that instantly, so your triage team has a ready-to-use workspace the moment a bug lands.
Trigger
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Action
Create a folder
Creates a new folder in google drive, optionally within a parent folder specified by its id or name; if a parent name is provided but not found, the action will fail.
Why this helps
A critical bug comes in and your team starts collecting reproduction steps, screenshots, and error logs, but they're storing them in random places because no one set up the 'official' folder yet. By the time the folder is created, you've lost half the context.
- Structured workspace for bug investigation ready instantly
- Triage team has a place to drop reproduction steps, screenshots, and traces immediately
- Reduces friction in the bug investigation workflow
- Prevents loss of context or assets because everything has a home
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Google Drive.
- 2Ask Notis: 'When a new bug is created in Linear, create a Google Drive folder named after the bug with subfolders for Screenshots, Reproductions, Logs, and Fixes'
- 3Notis will create a folder each time a bug arrives.
- 4Test by creating a new bug issue in Linear and watching the Drive folder appear.
Questions about this workflow
Can I filter for only critical bugs?
Yes. Ask Notis to create folders only for bugs with a certain priority level, and store lower-priority bugs in a shared archive folder.
Should I link the bug folder to the Linear issue?
Absolutely. Ask Notis to add the Drive folder link to the Linear issue description so the team can jump between them easily.
What happens to old bug folders after the bug is fixed?
They stay in Drive (great for retrospectives), but you can ask Notis to archive them to a separate 'Resolved Bugs' folder to keep the root tidy.
