Use case · Slack → Linear

Slack feedback to
Linear, auto-filed.

Distil watches your Slack channels — public, private, threads. High-severity bugs land in Linear automatically with full context and source links. The rest comes to you as a Slack DM at 9am the next day.

Slack is where the bugs live. And go to die.

Customers report bugs in support DMs you don't read in real time

By the time you scroll back, you've forgotten who said what.

Same bug in three channels, no idea it's connected

Support says one thing, eng says another, sales saw it on a call. Nobody owns merging the signal.

Filing the Linear ticket means copy-pasting and reformatting

You know you should do it. You don't. The bug stays in Slack.

The pipeline, in three steps.

1

Connect Slack channels

OAuth in one click. Pick public channels (e.g. #support, #feedback) and any private channels you opt in. Distil reads new messages and threaded replies.

2

Distil structures every message

Problem statement, affected users, severity, frequency. If the same bug also showed up in Intercom, Zendesk, or Twitter, those sources merge into one signal automatically.

3

Linear ticket files itself

Above your severity threshold? Direct to Linear with the structured problem, severity, affected count, and links to every source Slack message. Below threshold? Lands in tomorrow morning's Slack digest with a one-tap “File in Linear” button.

What an engineer sees.

Not a copy-pasted Slack message. A structured ticket with full context.
