# More ways to run and share Loops

By Steven Van · 2026-10-22

Loops can now start from Slack or GitHub events, be shared as workspace templates, and run at Auto, Low, Medium or High reasoning.

Loops in [Linear](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/linear>) can now be started by events in Slack and GitHub, saved as workspace templates, and set to different reasoning levels, according to the [October 22 changelog](<https://linear.app/changelog/2026-10-22-slack-and-github-loops>).

## Slack and GitHub triggers

Events in Slack and GitHub can start a loop automatically, so work moves forward without someone having to notice an update and act on it. Linear's examples: a loop that answers product questions in a Slack channel, or one that drafts a QA plan when a GitHub pull request gets a "ready for testing" label.

## Custom loop templates

A loop can be saved as a template for others in the workspace. To create one, open the loop's menu and select **Save as template**. It then appears next to Linear's built-in templates when someone creates a new loop. Linear suggests sharing something like a team's bug-triage loop so other teams can adapt it.

## Reasoning levels

Each loop now has a reasoning setting, to balance speed, cost and task complexity. **Auto** uses the workspace's default setting. **Low**, **Medium** or **High** give more control, so routine work can stay fast and cheap while harder tasks get deeper reasoning.

## Other changes in the same release

- Linear Agent can read and update Figma designs through the Figma MCP server. Sharing a frame turns a design into implementation requirements, and the agent can also create a design proposal from an issue.

- Linear issues can be kept in sync with PRs in Cursor Origin repos. A phrase like "Fixes PROD-120" in the PR title or description lets status automations update the issue as work progresses.

- A "Create new loop" action was added to the Cmd/Ctrl+K command menu.

- Label groups can be set as multi-select instead of single-select.

- The MCP server can assign users by part of their name, returning the possible matches when a name fits more than one user, and can look up customers by domain and external ID.

- Triage responsibility schedules now support BetterStack.

- Diffs gained a "Resolve conflicts" button that opens a draft in agent chat, plus Pending and Drafts filters for unsent comments.

The changelog also lists a longer set of fixes, including SCIM role group setup, Google Calendar out-of-office dates, and OAuth refresh token errors.
