Slack channel notifications for custom views
Slack channel notifications for custom views
You can now receive Slack notifications for any custom issue view in Linear. Use custom views to select any subset of your issues that you're interested in, and then set up Slack notifications to keep your team up to date when issues are added to the view, marked closed, or canceled.
Examples include:
- High priority bugs
- Issues blocking other work
- Issues moved from one team to another
Learn more in the docs and configure notifications from the bell icon in the top right of any custom view.
HIPAA compliance
In addition to SOC2, Linear is now compliant with HIPAA. Request a BAA (Enterprise plans only).
New and noteworthy
Convert milestones to projects
You can now convert milestones into projects. This will bring over the milestone description and inherit the properties of the parent project, including initiatives and project priority.
Auto-detection for links
We've simplified the process of linking to external resources. Just attach a URL and we will auto-detect if it matches an existing integration like Slack or Github.
Arm build for Windows
We now offer an Arm build of Linear for Windows. Make sure you’re running the correct architecture for the best performance – the new build is available on our download page.
