Connect Trello to Linear — No Code Required
Automate the handoff between Trello and Linear using plain English. Describe what you want to happen and Vendarwon Flow builds and runs the workflow automatically — forever, in real time, without developer help.
Why teams connect Trello to Linear
Most teams use Trello and Linear as separate tools — which means important data created in one never reaches the other unless someone manually transfers it. Connecting them with Vendarwon Flow eliminates that handoff entirely: the moment something happens in Trello, the right action fires in Linear automatically, every time.
Bug reports from Slack, email, and support tools automatically create Linear issues the moment they arrive
Issue status changes trigger automatic Slack notifications — the whole team stays informed without manual pings
High-priority issues escalate through email or Slack automatically with full context, no manual forwarding
What you can automate between Trello and Linear
When a new card arrives in Trello, automatically create a new issue in Linear — no manual work, no delay
Route specific Trello cards from key sources and update issue status in Linear the moment they arrive
Build a scheduled digest: collect Trello activity over time and add a comment to an issue in Linear on a daily or weekly schedule
When a high-priority card is detected in Trello, log a bug or feature request in Linear with all the relevant context included
Filter Trello cards by keyword, sender, or category — then create a new issue in Linear only for the ones that matter
Create a two-way feedback loop: every qualifying card in Trello triggers a record in Linear that your team can track and act on
What you stop doing manually
Trello is valuable — but without automation, it creates repetitive manual work. Here is what teams eliminate the moment they connect Trello to Linear:
Creating Trello cards by hand every time a new lead, support request, or task arrives from another tool
Manually moving cards between lists when the status changes in an external tool like a CRM or email
Copying information from emails, forms, and CRMs into Trello card descriptions one at a time

About Trello and Linear
Trello
Project Management
Trello is the visual project management tool with over 50 million users who rely on its simple card-based interface. The challenge every Trello team faces: boards fill up only when someone manually creates cards — so work that comes in through email, forms, or other tools often never gets tracked.
Available triggers
- new card created
- card moved to another list
- card due date reached
Available actions
- create a card on a board
- move a card to a list
- add a comment to a card
- attach data to a card
Linear
Project Management
Linear is the issue tracker of choice for fast-moving software teams, valued for its speed and clean design. The friction point is keeping Linear in sync with the rest of the business — support tickets, customer feedback, and communication tools rarely feed into it automatically.
Available triggers
- new issue created
- issue status changed
- issue assigned to team member
Available actions
- create a new issue
- update issue status
- add a comment to an issue
- log a bug or feature request
Frequently asked questions
Does Trello have a native Linear integration?
Trello and Linear do not have a built-in direct integration that covers most real automation scenarios. Vendarwon Flow acts as the bridge — you describe what you want in plain English and it handles the API connections between both tools securely. No Zapier account, no developer, no webhook configuration needed.
What Trello events can trigger the automation?
With Vendarwon Flow you can trigger automation from any of these Trello events: New card created; card moved to another list; card due date reached. You can also combine triggers — for example, only fire the automation when a card matches a specific keyword or comes from a particular source.
What can the automation do inside Linear?
Once triggered, the workflow can perform any of these actions in Linear: Create a new issue; update issue status; add a comment to an issue; log a bug or feature request. You can chain multiple actions together — for example, create a new issue and then update issue status.
How quickly does the automation run after something happens in Trello?
In real time — typically within a few seconds of the triggering event. Vendarwon Flow runs continuously in the cloud, so there is no polling delay. The moment a new card meets your conditions in Trello, the workflow fires and the action in Linear happens instantly, whether it is 2 PM or 2 AM.
Can I add conditions so only certain cards trigger the automation?
Yes — conditional logic is built in. You can describe rules like "only trigger when the card contains the word urgent" or "skip if the source is internal." Vendarwon Flow supports AND/OR conditions, keyword matching, and value comparisons, all configured in plain English without writing any code or building separate logic branches.
