The Best Linear Integrations and Apps in 2026
Linear is the issue tracker and project management tool that fast-moving engineering and product teams use to plan work, triage bugs, and ship. But an issue tracker only earns its keep when it is wired to where the work actually happens — your code host, your team chat, your design files, and your support inbox. Linear’s directory spans roughly 11 categories and 60-plus integrations, from GitHub and Slack to Sentry, Zendesk, and a growing set of AI agents.
Here are the Linear integrations actually worth setting up, grouped by what they do — and then the way to connect Linear to anything with an API.
Source control: GitHub and GitLab
- GitHub — Linear’s flagship integration. Link pull requests to issues, auto-move issues through workflow states on branch/PR/commit activity, and create branches named after issues. The backbone of the “commit closes the issue” loop.
- GitLab — the same PR-to-issue automation for GitLab teams: link Merge Requests, sync status, and auto-update issues as MRs move.
- Sentry — turn exceptions into Linear issues with stack traces attached, and link existing issues back to the errors that spawned them.
Communication: Slack, Discord, and Front
- Slack — create Linear issues from any message, sync issue threads to channels, and get status updates in-line. Linear Asks turns a Slack channel into a triage intake queue.
- Discord — pipe issue and project updates into Discord for community-driven and open-source teams.
- Front — connect shared inboxes so support conversations become Linear issues without leaving Front.
Design: Figma, Miro, and Loom
- Figma — embed live design previews on issues and create or link Linear issues directly from Figma files, keeping design context next to the work.
- Miro — attach boards and diagrams to issues for planning and mapping.
- Loom — drop async video walkthroughs into issues so bug reports and reviews carry visual context.
Customer support: Zendesk, Intercom, and Salesforce
- Zendesk — convert support tickets into Linear issues and sync status back, so customers hear when a bug is fixed.
- Intercom — attach Intercom conversations to Linear issues and close the feedback loop on reported problems.
- Salesforce — link customer records and opportunities to feature requests so product decisions reflect revenue.
Monitoring and incidents: incident.io, PagerDuty-style alerts, and Datadog
- incident.io — spin Linear issues out of incidents so follow-up work is tracked after the fire is out.
- Datadog — connect observability signals to engineering work in Linear.
- Sentry Agent — an AI agent that triages and drafts fixes from Sentry errors directly in Linear.
Docs and knowledge: Notion and Google Sheets
- Notion — rich previews of Notion docs on issues, plus AI queries that pull Linear data into your knowledge base.
- Google Sheets — export issue data to Sheets for custom dashboards, reporting, and roll-ups leadership actually reads.
No-code automation: Zapier and Make
- Zapier — connect Linear to thousands of apps for basic field-mapping automations (new issue → row, status change → notification).
- Make — visual multi-step scenarios for similar field-level moves.
Zapier and Make are fine for simple triggers and one-to-one field mapping. What they do not do is reason — decide how to triage a vague bug report, write a summary, or judge which team should own an issue. That is where an AI layer comes in.
The AI way to connect Linear to anything: Carly
Carly is an AI executive assistant that connects to 200+ tools — Linear included — and lets you bring your own API key to connect to anything else with a REST API. Instead of rigid if-this-then-that rules, Carly reads the actual content of an issue, decides what to do, and acts on it. For engineering and product ops, that means real triage instead of blind field-copying.
- Acts on triggers 24/7 in the cloud — a new bug lands in Linear at 2am and Carly labels, prioritizes, and routes it before you wake up.
- Reasons over your data instead of just copying fields — it reads the issue description, weighs severity, and picks the right team and priority.
- Ties Linear to the rest of your stack — Gmail, Outlook, your calendar, Slack, and your CRM — so a customer email can open an issue and a shipped issue can notify the account owner.
- Builds the workflow from a plain-English description — describe what you want and Carly assembles the steps.
Carly’s AI agents start at $35/month, and steps in a workflow that don’t use AI run free and unlimited. Carly also integrates with Linear.
How to connect Linear to a tool with no native integration
- In Linear, open Settings → API and create a Personal API key (a long-lived, user-scoped token sent in the Authorization header to Linear’s GraphQL API at
api.linear.app/graphql). For multi-user apps, Linear also supports OAuth2. - Paste that key into Carly on the integrations page.
- Describe the workflow in plain English — “when a Linear issue is marked Done, post a summary to the customer who requested it” — and Carly builds it, calling Linear’s API on your behalf.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Linear have integrations?
Yes. Linear offers 60-plus native integrations across roughly 11 categories — source control (GitHub, GitLab), communication (Slack, Discord, Front), design (Figma, Miro, Loom), support (Zendesk, Intercom, Salesforce), monitoring (Sentry, Datadog, incident.io), plus Zapier, Make, and a growing set of AI agents and clients.
What is the best Linear integration for automation?
For engineering flow, GitHub is the highest-value native integration. For automation that reasons rather than just maps fields — triaging issues, routing on triggers, and syncing across your whole stack — an AI layer like Carly connects via Linear’s GraphQL API.
How do I connect Linear to an app that isn’t listed?
Generate a Personal API key in Linear’s Settings → API, paste it into Carly’s integrations page, and describe the workflow you want. Carly uses Linear’s public GraphQL API to reach any tool with a REST API, even ones with no native Linear connector.
How much does an AI automation for Linear cost?
Carly’s AI agents start at $35/month, and non-AI workflow steps run free and unlimited. Linear’s own API access is included with your Linear plan; personal API keys are free to generate.

See what people say
"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
