The Linear integration connects your Sleekplan workspace to Linear so your product team can work feedback from Linear. From any feedback post you can link an existing Linear issue or create a new one, and a link back to the Sleekplan post is added to the issue automatically. You can also map statuses so that moving an issue through your Linear workflow updates the post, and changing a post’s status updates the issue.
Integration settings live in the workspace Settings, which are available to workspace owners and admins. Team members with the Member role won’t see the Integrations screen. See Roles and permissions.

​
Before you start

  • You need a Linear account with access to at least one Linear team.
  • Status sync uses your Linear teams’ workflow states (the columns in a team’s board, such as Todo, In Progress, and Done), so it helps to know which states you want to map.

​
Connect Linear

1

Open the Integrations settings

Go to Settings → Integrations. Linear is listed under All integrations.
2

Start the connection

Find Linear in the list and click Connect. A Linear authorization window opens in a new tab.
3

Authorize in Linear

Sign in to Linear if you are prompted, choose the Linear workspace you want to connect, then approve access for Sleekplan. Linear sends you back to Sleekplan and the connection is activated.
4

Confirm it connected

Back on Settings → Integrations, Linear now appears under Connected with a Connected tag. Click Manage to configure status sync.The Integrations settings screen with Linear listed under Connected and a Manage button

​
Sync statuses both ways

Status sync keeps a post and its linked Linear issue aligned. It works in both directions:
  • When a linked Linear issue moves to a different workflow state, the mapped Sleekplan post moves to the matching status.
  • When you change a post’s status in Sleekplan, the linked Linear issue moves to the mapped workflow state.
You set this up in the Manage Linear dialog. Sleekplan reads the workflow states from every team in your connected Linear workspace and shows one picker per state, so you can point each Linear state at the Sleekplan status it should map to.
1

Open Linear's settings

On Settings → Integrations, find Linear under Connected and click Manage.
2

Map each Linear state to a Sleekplan status

For each Linear workflow state, a Sync Linear status ”…” picker appears, labelled with the state name and the team it belongs to. Choose the Sleekplan status it should map to, or leave it on None to skip that state. Click Save.
A state set to None is not synced in either direction. Only mapped states trigger updates. If you map two Linear states to the same Sleekplan status, a Sleekplan status change moves the issue to the first of those states.

​
Link and create issues from a feedback post

Once Linear is connected, a Linear panel appears in the right sidebar of every feedback post. This is where you link, create, and unlink issues.
1

Open a feedback post

Go to your Feedback board and open the post you want to work on. Find the Linear panel in the post’s right sidebar.
2

Link an existing issue

In the Linear panel, type part of an issue title in the search field and submit. Pick the issue from the results to link it. Sleekplan adds a comment to the Linear issue with a link back to this post.
3

Or create a new issue

Click Create new issue, then fill in a Title and Description and choose the Team it should go into. Click Create. The new issue is created in Linear, linked to the post, and its description includes a link back to the Sleekplan post.
4

Unlink when you're done

To disconnect an issue from a post, open the Linear panel and click Unlink issue. The post and issue are no longer linked, and a comment noting the unlink is added to the issue. Unlinking does not delete the Linear issue.

​
Disconnect Linear

To stop syncing, go to Settings → Integrations, click Manage on the Linear row, and click Disconnect. This stops status syncing and removes the connection. You can reconnect at any time by connecting again.

Set up the Sleekplan statuses you map Linear workflow states to.
