Overview

This node integrates with the Linear API to perform advanced operations on various Linear resources, including members. Specifically, for the Member - Get operation, it retrieves detailed information about a single member by their unique ID.

Use cases include:

  • Fetching user details such as name, email, and other profile information from your Linear workspace.
  • Automating workflows that require member data, e.g., assigning tasks or sending notifications based on member attributes.
  • Integrating Linear member data into other systems or dashboards.

Example: You want to retrieve the profile of a specific team member in Linear by their member ID to display their contact info in an external app.

Properties

Name Meaning
Member ID The unique identifier of the member to retrieve. This is a required string input.

Output

The node outputs a JSON object representing the member's data as returned by the Linear API. This typically includes fields such as:

  • id: The member's unique ID.
  • name or displayName: The member's full name.
  • email: The member's email address.
  • Other profile-related fields provided by Linear (e.g., role, status).

The output is structured as a single JSON object per input item, containing all available member details.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Linear API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
  • Uses the official Linear SDK (@linear/sdk) to interact with the API.
  • The node expects valid member IDs corresponding to existing users in the Linear workspace.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Providing an invalid or non-existent Member ID will result in an error from the Linear API.
    • Missing or incorrect API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.

  • Error messages:

    • "Member ID is required for getting a member." — Ensure the Member ID property is set and not empty.
    • API errors related to authorization or resource not found will be propagated; verify API key validity and member existence.
    • "The member resource is currently not available." — Not applicable here since the member resource is supported, but similar errors may appear if the API changes.

  • Resolution tips:

    • Double-check the Member ID value for correctness.
    • Confirm the API key credential is properly configured and has necessary permissions.
    • Test connectivity to the Linear API endpoint outside n8n if needed.
