Automate Linear + YouTube
Fast issue tracking that deserves fast automation. Long-form content worth repurposing everywhere else. Put an agent between them and the hand-off stops being manual: it reads, decides, acts, and shows its work.
Meeting Follow-Through is a ready-made agent built around Linear; point its last step at YouTube to finish this hand-off.
Automations teams run
These are not field mappings. An agent reads the Linear side, works out what it means, and only then decides what — if anything — should happen in YouTube.
When an issue is created in Linear…
…an agent can pull transcripts and stats in YouTube — after reading the context and deciding it should.
When a status changes in Linear…
…an agent can draft descriptions and chapters in YouTube — after reading the context and deciding it should.
When a cycle ends in Linear…
…an agent can summarise comments in YouTube — after reading the context and deciding it should.
When a video is published in YouTube…
…an agent can create issues with full context in Linear — with the reasoning recorded in the run’s receipt.
When a comment arrives in YouTube…
…an agent can update status and assignees in Linear — with the reasoning recorded in the run’s receipt.
Copy this Linear → YouTube workflow
Concretely: a custom-api call to api.linear.app on one side, the youtube-api node on the other, and an agent in between that can decline. Deciding not to write into YouTube is a recorded outcome, not a silent one.

Meeting Follow-Through is a working agent built around Linear. Install it, point its last step at YouTube, and you have this hand-off without building it from an empty canvas.
Runs on your own machine · See what it does
Build it in AGNT
- Download AGNT Community Core — free and local-first.
- Connect Linear with an API key pasted into the vault and YouTube with one OAuth sign-in; both land in the local vault.
- Start from a marketplace workflow, or drop a custom-api node and youtube-api onto the canvas with an agent between them.
- Put an approval gate on anything consequential, then run it — the receipt shows what was read in Linear and what was written to YouTube.
Linear and YouTube — common questions
Can I connect Linear to YouTube without writing code?
Yes. Linear connects with an API key pasted into the vault and YouTube with one OAuth sign-in, both from the local credential vault. You then describe the job in plain language — “when an issue is created, pull transcripts and stats” — and the agent handles the rest.
How is this different from a field-mapping Linear to YouTube automation?
A field mapping copies values and breaks on the first record nobody anticipated. The middle step here reads the Linear item in full and decides — whether it matters, how to summarise it, and what belongs in YouTube. Deciding to do nothing is a valid outcome, which no mapping can express.
Does my Linear and YouTube data leave my machine?
AGNT Community Core is local-first, so there is no vendor middleman holding your Linear or YouTube tokens. The runtime talks directly to both services. Choose a local model and the content of what it reads never leaves the machine at all.
What does a Linear and YouTube run leave behind?
A receipt: what was read in Linear, which tools ran with which arguments, what the agent concluded, and what it wrote to YouTube. Anything consequential can sit behind an approval gate so a person signs off before it happens.
