Linear: create an issue from a conversation
Last updated: 26 September 2026 · 4 min read
The Linear integration turns a problem a customer reports into a Linear issue and links it to the conversation. This feature is not in every plan.
Steps
-
1
Connect Linear
On the Settings › Workspace settings › Integrations page, click “Configure” on the “Linear” card, then “Connect”. Sign in to your Linear account and give permission. An administrator does this.
-
2
Create an issue from a conversation
Open the conversation. In the Linear part of the right panel, click “Create/Link Linear Issue”. Fill in “Title”, “Description”, “Team”, “Assignee” and “Priority”, and create the issue.
-
3
Link an existing issue
In the same window, on the “Link” tab, find the issue with “Search issues” and select it. Linked issues appear in the conversation panel under “Linked Linear Issues”.

If it is not connected
If the conversation says “Linear workspace is not connected”, an administrator needs to connect the integration.
