Assign Linear issues to Tembo and turn them into PRs.

​
Features

  • Assign issues to Tembo to trigger work
  • AI-powered code solutions with pull request generation
  • Interactive repository selection when starting tasks

​
Installation

1

Install

Navigate to the Integrations page in Tembo and click the Install button next to Linear.
2

Authorize

Authorize Tembo to access your Linear workspace. You’ll be redirected back to the Integrations page when complete.
3

Repository Labels

Tembo automatically creates a “Tembo Git Repositories” label group with all your GitHub repositories. Use these labels to specify which repository Tembo should target for each issue.You can set a default repository to avoid adding labels to every issue.
4

Start Using Tembo

Now you can assign Linear issues to Tembo to trigger solutions.

​
Supported Triggers

Tembo maps Linear activity to automation triggers (use a linear.* naming convention in your triggerName). The Integrations page in the app shows the live set enabled for your org. Supported events:
  • issue.created
  • issue.updated
  • issue.labeled
  • issue.assigned
  • comment.created
See Automations for how to create triggers from these events.

​
Usage

​
Triggering Tembo

Assign the issue directly to Tembo. The bot user should appear in your Linear workspace after completing the integration setup.

​
Repository Selection

When you assign a Linear issue to Tembo, you’ll be prompted to select which repository to work on:
  1. Assign the issue - Assign the Linear issue to Tembo
  2. Select repository - Tembo will present you with a dropdown menu of available repositories
  3. Choose your repository - Select one repository from the list, or type to select multiple repositories
  4. Tembo starts work - Once you’ve made your selection, Tembo will automatically begin working on the task

​
Working with Multiple Repositories

For tasks that span multiple repositories (e.g., full-stack features):
  1. When prompted for repository selection, type the names of multiple repositories
  2. Example: Type “frontend backend” or select both repositories
  3. Tembo will create separate pull requests for each repository and coordinate changes across all selected repositories

​
Status Updates

Tembo keeps you informed as it works on your Linear issues:
  • Interactive Prompts - Tembo will ask you to select a repository and confirm before starting work
  • Progress Updates - Tembo provides real-time updates as it works through the task
  • Status Changes - Tembo automatically updates the Linear issue status as it progresses through the task
  • Comments - Tembo adds comments to the issue with progress updates and links to pull requests
  • Pull Request Links - When code changes are ready, Tembo comments with a link to the generated PR

​
Best Practices

Write clear, actionable issue descriptions: Good examples:
  • “Add email validation to the user registration form”
  • “Fix memory leak in the background job processor”
  • “Add pagination to the /api/users endpoint”
Less effective:
  • “Fix the bug”
  • “Improve performance”
  • “Update the app”
Include relevant context:
  • Add screenshots or error logs to help Tembo understand the issue
  • Reference related issues or pull requests
  • Specify acceptance criteria in the issue description
Choose the right repositories:
  • Select all repositories that need changes for the task
  • For full-stack features, include both frontend and backend repositories
  • If unsure, start with one repository and Tembo can help identify if others are needed
