Linear (API key) ACTION

Update Issue

Updates an existing Linear issue. All fields are optional; only provided fields are changed — prior values are preserved for any omitted field. Use Get Teams for team IDs, List Workflow States for state IDs, List Users for assignee IDs, List Labels for label IDs, and Search Issues for the issue ID. Example: issueId: "iss_01abc", stateId: "state_done_xyz" → returns {success: true, issue: {id: "iss_01abc", identifier: "ENG-42", state: {name: "Done"}}}. See the documentation.

IMPLEMENTATION

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "linear_app-update-issue",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    linear_app: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    issueId: "Issue",
    title: "Title",
  },
})

console.log(result)
