Create an issue in Linear when someone joins the mailing list in Mailchimp

When someone joins the mailing list in Mailchimp, create an issue in Linear.

Start the 14-day trial, then find it under Templates → Library. It installs into the client you choose, switched off, with its checklist.

Every step, in order

When it happens in the first app, the step runs in the second, with the client’s own account.

Someone joins the mailing list
A new subscriber on an audience (a signup form, an import), checked every 15 minutes.
Create an issue
An issue in a team. The output is the new issue: its identifier and link.

What each client fills in

Linear: Team ID
For example the team’s UUID
Mailchimp: Audience ID
Audience → Settings → Audience name and defaults: the Audience ID.

The accounts it needs

Each is the client’s own, stored encrypted and never copied between clients. Until one is added the client’s checklist shows it, and nothing runs.

  • In the client’s Mailchimp: Profile → Extras → API keys → Create A Key. The server prefix is the part after the dash (us21).

  • In the client’s Linear: Settings → Security & access → Personal API keys → New API key. The triggers make webhooks, which needs a workspace admin’s key.

After you install it

It lands switched off. The client’s checklist holds exactly this:

  1. Connect the client’s Mailchimp, for “Someone joins the mailing list”
  2. Connect the client’s Linear, for “Create an issue”
  3. Fill in Mailchimp: Audience ID (Audience → Settings → Audience name and defaults: the Audience ID)
  4. Fill in Linear: Team ID (For example the team’s UUID)

Thrum is cooking.

Get early access and you’ll be among the first in. Early members get a launch perk.
