Linear
Description
Linear is an issue tracking and project planning tool for product and engineering teams. It organizes work as issues that belong to teams, projects and cycles, each carrying a workflow state, an assignee, labels and a priority.
Setup guide
Follow our setup guide to connect Linear to Improvado.
Click the Connections in the left navigation bar.
Categories on the Data sources page group all available platforms. Use a search to find the required one.
Click on the Linear tile.
Enter a Connection Name of your choice, then click Authorize.
You are redirected to Linear. Sign in with an account that has access to the workspace you want to extract, review the requested access, and confirm. Improvado can read only the teams that this account can see.
After the connection is completed, the Linear connection will appear in your Connected sources list.
When the connection status is Active, and the account status column shows a number of accounts, you can move on to data extraction. Each Linear team appears as a separate account you can select during extraction.
To extract data from the connected sources, check the instruction on how to set up data extraction.
Schema information
The schema information shows all report types you can use to extract data from Linear.
Limits
Improvado requests read and write access to your Linear workspace. Read access powers data extraction; write access lets the Improvado AI Agent create and update issues and comments when you ask it to. Improvado never writes to Linear on its own.
Improvado does not request administrator access, so it cannot change your workspace or team settings.
The cycle and estimate fields of an issue are filled only for teams that have cycles and estimates enabled in Linear. For other teams, these fields are empty.
A project shared by several teams is extracted under the account of each of those teams. If you combine data from several team accounts, deduplicate projects by their ID.
You can revoke Improvado's access at any time from your Linear workspace settings.
