Linear cycle hygiene

Linear cycle hygiene is an n8n automation template that runs on a schedule to audit Linear cycles and delivers hygiene reports or reminders via Gmail. Reach for it when stale issues keep spilling into the next sprint unnoticed, when team members need automatic nudges about tickets sitting idle with no updates, or when a manager wants a recurring snapshot of what's blocking cycle completion without checking Linear manually. Trigger: Schedule. Integrations: Linear, Gmail. The workflow fires on a set cadence, queries Linear for the current cycle's open and overdue issues, and dispatches summary notifications through Gmail. Deployment is a straightforward JSON import into any n8n instance — cloud or self-hosted — with no extra infrastructure required. The template handles cycle hygiene and status reporting, not backlog creation or issue management from scratch. It fits teams already running Linear as their primary tracker and Gmail for work email; if notifications need to go to Slack or another channel, the workflow will need adjustment beyond what the base template provides.
