Connect Linear

Connect Linear so a project goal moves as its issues close. Operator can also read your Linear with the same login.

What you get from Linear #

• Goal progress from a Linear project, by tasks or by points.
• Linear Project Updates posted on the goal as check-ins, if you turn that on.
• The project's issues listed on the goal page.

Connect Linear #

1. In Settings, click Connections, then type Linear in Search connections.
2. On its row, click Connect.
3. Sign in to Linear and approve access.

Track a Linear project #

1. Open a Project or Metric goal and click Auto-track. Under Ready to track, pick Linear.
2. Pick the project and click Continue. For a number one project can't give, such as issues with a label, choose Describe a value beside the list instead.
3. Under Track progress, pick one. A Project goal offers Completed tasks or Completed points. A Metric offers Tasks or Points completed, as a count or a percent.
4. Optionally, turn on Collect Project Updates. It starts off. When on, each Project Update in Linear becomes a check-in, and a change to the project refreshes the goal within minutes.
5. Next to Connect, pick how often to refresh: Every 30 minutes (the default), Hourly, Every 4 hours, Daily or Weekly. Then click Connect.

After you connect Linear #

Brev reads the value at the frequency you picked. At Every 30 minutes, it reads every 30 minutes from 7 AM to 7 PM on weekdays (Sydney, New York or San Francisco time). Otherwise, it reads every 4 hours.

• To read it now, click the refresh icon on the goal's connection. An unchanged value adds no check-in.
• To see what it reads, hover over the connection or click its gear. The gear also changes the frequency.
• You can still add your own check-ins, for example to explain a change.

On a Project goal, the goal page also lists the tracked project's issues, each with its status.
