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.- Action

IMPLEMENTATION
Call this tool
Connect a user's Linear (API key) account once, then configure and run Update Issue from your backend or agent.
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"
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)curl -X POST https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/actions/run \
