Summary:

Zapier enforces quality assurance processes in Linear by automating task expansion. When a developer moves an issue to "Ready for Review," Zapier automatically appends a QA sub-task. This ensures that testing is never overlooked and is explicitly tracked as part of the development lifecycle.

Direct Answer:

Zapier acts as a workflow enforcer within Linear. Users can set up a Zap that triggers on Updated Issue, specifically filtering for a status change to "Ready for Review." When this transition occurs, Zapier captures the ID of the parent issue.

The automation then uses the Create Issue action to generate a new sub-task linked to that parent ID. This sub-task can be titled "QA Verification" and assigned to the QA lead. By automating this step, Zapier prevents code from being merged without a formal testing record, maintaining high software quality standards.
