Add rules

Rules decide which Linear issues Otto works on. Otto picks up an issue that matches any enabled rule.
  1. In Settings → Integrations → Linear, click Add Rule.
  2. Name the rule and add conditions, such as team, labels, status, and assignment (Assigned Only or Unassigned Only).
  3. Choose the Linked Project: the Otto project, and so the repository, Otto works in for matching issues.

Tips

  • Use a dedicated status or label for Otto’s work, for example an Otto status between Todo and In Review, or an otto label, and match it in a rule.
  • Start narrow. Begin with one team and a label, check the results, then widen the rule.
  • Write specific tickets. “Add avatar upload: JPG/PNG, max 5 MB, stored in S3” gets better results, and uses less context, than a paragraph of background.
