Linear Connector

Overview

The Linear connector enables AI Team members to interact with your Linear workspace, providing capabilities for issue management, project tracking, and workflow coordination. By connecting Linear to AI Team, AI teammates can query issue status, manage projects, track cycles, and help coordinate engineering work.

The connector provides access to issues, comments, projects, cycles, teams, and workflow states, allowing AI teammates to help with issue tracking, sprint planning, and project management tasks.

Add the Linear Connector

To add the Linear connector, you authorize Edge Delta to access your Linear workspace using OAuth.

Prerequisites

Before configuring the connector, ensure you have:

• Linear workspace with appropriate permissions
• Ability to authorize OAuth applications

Configuration Steps

1. Navigate to AI Team > Connectors in the Edge Delta application
2. Find the Linear connector
3. Click the connector card
4. Click Approve in Linear to authorize the connection

The connector is now available for use by AI Team members who have been assigned this connector.

How to Use the Linear Connector

The Linear connector integrates with AI Team, enabling AI teammates to manage Linear issues and projects based on natural language queries. Once configured, AI teammates can help with issue tracking, project coordination, and workflow management.

Use Case: Issue Management

AI teammates can help create, update, and track Linear issues. For example, when investigating incidents or planning work, the AI can create issues with appropriate details, update issue status, add comments with findings, and track issue progress.

Use Case: Project Tracking

AI teammates can monitor project status and progress. When asked about project status, the AI can retrieve project details, list associated issues, check completion status, and provide progress summaries.

Use Case: Sprint Planning

AI teammates can help with sprint planning by querying cycle information, listing issues in the current cycle, checking team capacity, and coordinating work assignments across the team.

Troubleshooting

Authorization errors: Try disconnecting and reconnecting the OAuth authorization. Ensure you have the necessary permissions in your Linear workspace.

Permission errors: Verify your Linear user has appropriate permissions for the operations AI teammates need to perform (creating issues, updating projects, etc.).

Missing data: Check that you have access to the teams and projects where the data exists. Some data may be restricted based on workspace permissions.
