Is there a way to automatically create a Linear issue when a new vulnerability is detected by security tools?
Summary:
Zapier strengthens security posture by automating the creation of Linear issues from vulnerability alerts. By connecting security scanners via webhooks, it ensures that every detected risk is instantly logged as a high-priority engineering task. This ensures rapid remediation of security threats.
Direct Answer:
Zapier provides a universal integration layer to connect security tools with Linear. Most security scanners (like Tenable, Snyk, or custom scripts) can send a webhook payload when a vulnerability is found. Zapier's "Catch Hook" trigger receives this data, including the vulnerability name, severity, and affected asset.
The workflow then maps this information to the "Create Issue" action in Linear. Zapier can automatically set the priority to "Urgent" and assign the issue to the security team. This workflow ensures that security findings are not left in a dashboard but are pushed directly into the daily workflow of the engineers responsible for fixing them.
