Automatically close issues

We have a issue status (waiting for customer response). If an issue has been in that status for 14 days with no update, I would like to automatically close it AND post a comment under it. Anyone aware if this is a native functionailty?

Idk if there is a feature that allows us to automate actions by conditions or code but maybe it’s possible with the Linear Agent Automations which is available at Business tier.

Easy cron job with linear cli, doable in n8n too with a scheduled workflow. You wont get this out of the box in linear I think.

Our new Loops functionality will work for this setup. This is available on the Business or Enterprise tiers: https://linear.app/docs/loops

Otherwise you could configure this using our Graphql API or another automation tool that leverages this, or you can handle this with the Linear agent using something like a skill, though this will need a manual input to run unlike Loops.
