A breach found the next morning
The warning sat in Linear.
BoldBellowsLinear to Microsoft Teams automation for support and engineering teams with response commitments
Linear to Microsoft Teams automation that posts one adaptive card when an issue's SLA is at risk and one when it is breached, through a Workflows webhook that has a backup owner
Linear to Microsoft Teams automation makes sure a service commitment is noticed before it is missed. Linear has a convenience webhook for issue SLAs whose actions are set, highRisk and breached, so the route does not have to watch dates at all. Microsoft is replacing connectors with Workflows, whose webhook trigger is tied to its owner. BoldBellows keeps the action, the delivery ID and the issue UUID together as one key, separates a state change from the other updates that arrive beside it, then posts one adaptive card for each action to the right channel and sets the workflow up with co-owners.

Chapter 01 the missed-commitment problem
An SLA breach found the morning after is a customer who already knows
Support promises a response within four hours on urgent issues. Linear tracks the clock, but the people who can act are in Teams. The warning is seen when someone next opens Linear, which is after the breach. The flow that could carry the warning belongs to a single person's account, and a flow that posts every issue update teaches the channel to ignore it.
The SLA breach was discovered the morning after it happened.
A channel muted for noise
Every update posted a card.
A flow that went orphan
Its owner moved on and nobody could edit it, on the Linear to Microsoft Teams route.
Before
After
Before
- Notifications are forwarded without a check
- SLA warnings are found by opening Linear
- The flow depends on one person
After
- Records are matched on the Linear issue UUID and the SLA action, recorded for every card posted, not on names
- At-risk and breached issues warn the right channel once
- Workflows with co-owners keep it running with Linear to Microsoft Teams
Chapter 02 How it works
How a Linear SLA event becomes one adaptive card in the right channel
Qualify first, match second, write last; that order is what stops duplicates.
Verify and decide
The incoming event is checked for authenticity, its identifiers are recorded, and the route decides whether the issue event qualifies.
Verify, read, route
The signature and timestamp are checked, the SLA action and issue are read, and the team is looked up in the channel table.
Claim, build, post
The issue and action are claimed, an adaptive card is built within Teams' size limit, and it is sent through the workflow's webhook.
The Linear and Microsoft Teams details that shape the design
- SLA events are first-class: An issue SLA webhook reports set, highRisk and breached, so a route can react when a deadline is at risk without watching dates.
- Workflows replace connectors: Microsoft points to the Linear Workflows app and its Teams webhook trigger as the replacement for Microsoft 365 Connectors, and notes that workflows are linked to their owners.
- Recovery: Anything unclear is reconciled against Microsoft Teams through the Linear issue UUID and the SLA action, recorded for every card posted, then repaired, closed or handed to an owner.
Chapter 03 What ships in the build
Component by component: the Linear Microsoft Teams build
Three layers, in order: Capture for eligibility and identity, Coordinate for the Linear message itself, Audit for drift and exceptions.
Scope filter
Applies the in-scope list to every Linear event, so Microsoft Teams sees only what you approved.
Stable identity ledger
Keeps a source key on each Microsoft Teams item, which is how a later change finds the Linear record it belongs to.
Field-level filter
Drops, masks or transforms each Linear value according to the rule written beside it.
SLA card designer
Lays out the issue, the commitment, the owner, the time left and a link as an adaptive card sized for Teams.
Issue-and-action claim guard
Confirms an SLA action has not already been posted for the issue before a card goes out.
Channel lookup matrix
Maps each team and priority to the channel that should hear about its SLA.
Post register
Holds every difference between Linear and Microsoft Teams with its age and its owner.
Workflow ownership watch
Notices a flow without a co-owner, or one that has been disabled, before warnings are lost.
Repair workbench
Offers a safe next action for each stuck message instead of a blind retry, for this Linear to Microsoft Teams route.

Chapter 04 Who this fits
When design-led teams tracking polish work in Linear also have to warn the right channel when an issue's SLA is at risk or breached
Linear keeps the SLA clock; Teams is where the people who can beat it will see the warning.
Support lead
"Warn me before I miss one."
An at-risk SLA arrives as a card with the owner and time left.
Microsoft 365 admin
"Do not build on retiring features."
The route uses the Linear Workflows webhook trigger, the documented replacement for connectors.
Flow owner
"I do not want to be the only owner." with Linear to Microsoft Teams
Every Microsoft Teams workflow has co-owners, so it keeps running when people change roles.
Engineering manager
"Tell the right team."
Each team maps to its own channel.
Agency lead
"Each client has a tenant."
Each client's warnings go to a workflow in that client's tenant.
Founder
"No surprises for customers."
Breaches are seen as they happen, not the next morning.
Chapter 05 The options
Linear into Microsoft Teams: an SLA-warning card route, or the usual a hand-built Power Automate flow and zap
Each can post. Only one warns at the right moments, once, from a flow that lasts.
| Question | a hand-built Power Automate flow | A generic Linear connector | BoldBellows, with a SLA-warning card route |
|---|---|---|---|
| What starts the work | Staff notice and act | The first matching notification | Events inside the agreed scope only |
| How identity is decided | A person recalls the customer | Nothing stored, so nothing to compare | A Linear issue UUID and SLA action for every card |
| What reaches Microsoft Teams | A partial copy | One object, no relationships | One adaptive card per SLA action in its mapped channel |
| After an uncertain result | A manual clean-up later | It repeats the write | Compares what exists with what was intended |
The newer state is already there
On this Linear to Microsoft Teams route, when an older event shows up after a newer one, the route notes it and leaves the confirmed message alone.
An issue is resolved a moment after it was flagged high risk
The at-risk card stands as a record, the resolution is noted in the register, and no breached card is ever posted. The existing message, if any, is found by the Linear issue UUID and the SLA action, recorded for every card posted and judged against the payload before the route decides what to do.
The first design choice is the Linear issue UUID and the SLA action, recorded for every card posted; identity, replay and repair all follow from it.

Chapter 08 Getting started
What we will ask you for
Confirmation of which Linear records we may read
A Microsoft 365 account that can create Workflows in the target teams, and a Linear admin for the SLA webhook
Permission to subscribe to the Linear events that start the route
Agreement on which issue events are in scope for the first release
A contact who can approve changes to the field map
Names of the people who will receive the handover notes
Chapter 09 Trust
Least access, allowlisted fields, and a clean handover
On this Linear to Microsoft Teams route, the design principle is least privilege: enough access to do the job, documented, and easy to revoke.
No changes to either product
Linear and Microsoft Teams keep their own code and settings; the route sits between them and uses only what each platform documents.
Scoped, revocable access
Every credential has an owner, a scope and an off switch.
A short list of fields
The mapping names every field that travels. Additions are agreed in writing, not picked up automatically.
No blind replays
The route never resends on hope. It checks Microsoft Teams for the message through the Linear issue UUID and the SLA action, recorded for every card posted and decides from what it finds.
Minimal logging
We keep proof that a step happened without keeping what it carried.
Full handover
The field map, credential inventory and recovery notes are yours to keep.
"An SLA at risk is a minute-by-minute matter, so the build posts one card and keeps the flow owned."

Chapter 11 Questions
Linear and Microsoft Teams: questions from Microsoft 365 teams
The questions that come up most while buyers compare options, answered once.
Why not stay with a Linear to Microsoft Teams Zapier setup?
Need only a card for every issue update? A zap handles that. It stops short of the work to warn once when an SLA is at risk, once when it is breached, and keep the flow owned as connectors retire. That missing layer is what you are paying for.
How do Linear SLA warnings reach Microsoft Teams?
When an issue's SLA becomes high risk or is breached, one adaptive card goes to the channel mapped to its team, with the owner and a link.
Does the route have to watch dates?
No. Linear's issue SLA webhook reports set, highRisk and breached itself, so the route reacts to the event and watches no clock.
Are Microsoft 365 Connectors still the right choice on the Linear to Microsoft Teams route?
Microsoft points to the Linear Workflows app as their replacement. The route is built on the Linear Workflows webhook trigger so it keeps working.
What if the flow's owner leaves?
Workflows are tied to their owners, so each is set up with co-owners, in the Linear to Microsoft Teams route.
Will each update post a card?
No. Only SLA actions post, and each issue and action pair posts once.
Can anything said in Teams edit an issue?
No. Cards flow out of Linear only; replies and reactions in Teams never reach an issue.
Is mapping part of the fixed price on the Linear to Microsoft Teams route?
Yes. Field types, formats and exclusions are settled up front through the Linear Microsoft Teams field mapping service, then tested on real records.
Can we tailor what moves to Microsoft Teams in the Linear to Microsoft Teams route?
Yes. Rule-based routing produces a custom Linear workflow for Microsoft Teams. The price starts at $520 and includes a Linear Microsoft Teams integration consultant's guidance.
Does the route fail safely?
Changes are expected, so the route fails safe: the affected record waits and is flagged. Anything needed after the review window is quoted separately.
Give Teams warnings that survive the connector retirement
