How to integrate Linear in automation workflow?
3 simple steps to make your Linear connected with other apps in automation workflows on WEXTL. Up to 10 minutes integration set up.
STEP 2
Connect Linear
When prompted, authorize access to Linear in WEXTL once. Linear credentials are encrypted and never shared with WEXTL. Authorization will be reused in any future API calls [3].
WEXTL wants to integrate with your Linear account. Approve?
STEP 3
Build a workflow
Build your workflow with Linear yourself or with WEXTL® AI Builder. Connect Linear to any available integrations [5], or use HTTP node to go beyond them.

How Linear connects and integrates with WEXTL
Save and approve your credentials once — WEXTL® stores authorization information encrypted and reuses the authentication whenever Linear app is called in workflows. That allows your project management automations to run without your attention, per defined schedule [7]. Explore documentation [6] for a detailed list of fields that Linear supports.
The following table illustrates what fields Linear integration require during authorization flow inside our workflow builder [4].

Connect Linear to popular apps on WEXTL
Enter a name of the other app you want to sync with Linear below. Click on selected app to explore integration options with Linear. If the app you search for is not available in WEXTL yet, you can use HTTP node [10] instead to integrate it directly.
Example automation with Linear integration
Select Watch Customers trigger from Linear - this will be a starting point in your automation. Whenever event happens in Linear, workflow will start [7] from Watch Customers node.
Search for Create Customer Need, connect it as the next step of integration sequence. You can use filters between Watch Customers and Create Customer Need, so only important data pass from Watch Customers to the next step. WEXTL gives you full control over the process of Linear automation. All parts of workflow are visible on the canvas [4].
Linear on WEXTL has 29 modules for building project management automations. Explore Linear documentation for more.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about automating Linear in your workflows.
Linear has 6 triggers, including "Watch Customers", "Watch Issues", and "Watch Projects", and more. Triggers are start points of the workflow, and automations may start from them.
Integration has 23 actions, including "Get Attachment", "Get Issue", and "Get Team", and more. Refer to our Linear Documentation for detailed inputs and outputs.
No. Most automations are built visually on the canvas by picking triggers, actions, and mapping fields. You can add custom JavaScript with Functions when advanced logic is needed — but our customers do that in rare cases [4].
Yes. Connections are authenticated per account, credentials are encrypted at rest, and you can enforce approvals and team-level access controls on any automation.
The Linear integration on WEXTL runs directly on its vendor public API — every field name, authentication method, and rate limit is controlled by Linear official API and covered in documentation [3]. WEXTL handles the request signing and pagination for you.
Absolutely. Where Linear provides native webhooks, you can use instant triggers to eliminate polling delay. For custom webhooks, WEXTL offers Custom Webhook node, so you can start automation whenever Linear or any other service sends event to webhook URL.
WEXTL is an AI-first visual canvas. The platform allows you to describe automation in plain text — and AI will wire nodes for Linear inside the workflow builder [4]. You can also use built-in workflow nodes (AI Agent, Human in the Loop, Condition, Aggregate Results) in pair with Linear modules to craft complex integration flows with branches, filtering, and conditional logic. There are absolutely no limits of what you can build.
