How it connects

Designed, not yet connectedOAuth (Linear API) with read access to the teams you choose and comment write access.
Least accessRead scopes for the objects you choose; write access limited to one note or comment, or none.
Per workspace, encryptedEach workspace connects its own account. Credentials are encrypted with a separate key and never shared between workspaces.

Questions buyers ask

Does it write to customers or change records?

No. It writes one internal note or comment when a person records what they did. Statuses, replies and approvals stay with your team in Linear.

What does it need access to?

OAuth (Linear API) with read access to the teams you choose and comment write access. Each workspace connects its own account; nothing is shared between workspaces, and credentials are stored encrypted.

Does it work before the integration is connected?

Yes. Paste a link to a process document and describe the situation; the next step and the course exist the same minute. The integration adds the record's own history as evidence.
