Linear teamWhy Gmail users pick Quicktion for Linear
Gmail users have the easiest path to a structured email archive, but most tools make you jump through hoops — install a Chrome extension, set up a Zapier flow, learn Zapier's syntax, and pray attachments come through.
The Quicktion Gmail add-on skips all of that. It's an official Google Workspace add-on, installed from the Marketplace, that lives inside the Gmail sidebar. You open an email, click the icon, pick where to save it, and the email lands as a structured row.
If you'd rather not click per email, you can also set up a Gmail filter to auto-forward matching emails to a dedicated Quicktion address. Both methods use the same destinations, so you can mix and match for different inboxes.
Works the same way inside the Gmail iOS and Android apps — useful when you want to save an email from your phone without opening a laptop.
For Linear specifically, the Gmail add-on skips Linear's built-in email-to-issue (which dumps the raw body into the description) and instead parses the email through the AI extraction layer — so the issue lands with Priority, Label and Assignee already set based on the email content, and the title is the clean subject rather than a "Fwd: Re:" chain.
From Gmail to Linear in three steps
Setup takes about two minutes. Nothing to install beyond the steps below.
Install the Gmail add-on
Add Quicktion from the Google Workspace Marketplace in one click. Works on Gmail web, iOS app and Android app — no separate extension needed.
Open any email and pick a destination
The Quicktion icon appears in the right sidebar of every message. Tap it, pick which destination you want to save to, and that's it.
Save with one click (or auto-forward)
Each email saves with the body, sender, subject, date and attachments in the right fields. Prefer hands-off? Set a Gmail filter to auto-forward matching emails instead.
What people save to Linear
Each destination can have its own forwarding address, field mapping and defaults. Mix and match across your Linear teams.
Customer bug reports
support@ → Linear issue with severity
Route your support inbox to a Linear bug team. Customer name, reproducer steps and severity get AI-extracted from the email body so the ticket lands ready to triage.
Feature requests
Feedback email → Linear project
Feature-request emails land as issues in a dedicated feedback project, with the original sender saved to a custom field so you can close the loop once the feature ships.
Internal task inbox
Team emails → Linear tasks
Forward team-wide emails that need action to Linear so they become visible issues in the right cycle. Default assignee and priority handle triage without manual clicks.
Sales intel inbox
Deal alerts → revenue team board
Demo requests, pricing questions and high-intent replies route into a sales team board. Company, contact and deal stage get extracted for quick follow-up.
What lands in Linear
Every email from Gmail becomes a structured Linear row, not a pasted wall of text.
Save from the Gmail sidebar in one tap — the email becomes a Linear issue with a clean subject-line title, Priority and Label auto-set from the body, and attachments uploaded to the ticket.
Every forwarded email becomes a Linear issue with a clean title taken from the subject, not a "Fwd: Re: Fwd:" mess.
Priority, Label, Assignee and Project can be auto-populated from the email body via the AI extraction layer — no manual triage.
Attachments upload directly to the Linear issue, so PDFs, screenshots and logs stay attached to the ticket they describe.
Linear's built-in email-to-issue dumps raw content into the description; Quicktion parses the email into typed fields the way your team actually triages issues.
