More ways to run and share Loops

Loops automate product work by responding to changes in Linear and connected tools. You can now trigger them from Slack and GitHub, share them as templates, and customize their reasoning levels.

Slack and GitHub triggers⁠

Events in Slack and GitHub can now start loops automatically, so work can move forward without someone having to notice an update and take action.

Set up a loop to answer product questions in a Slack channel, or draft a QA plan when a GitHub pull request gets a “ready for testing” label.

Learn how to get started with Loops in the docs.

Custom loop templates⁠

You can now save loops as templates for others in your workspace to use. For example, share your team’s bug-triage loop so other teams can adapt it without starting from scratch.

To create a template, open a loop’s menu and select Save as template. It will appear alongside Linear’s built-in templates when someone in your workspace creates a new loop.

Reasoning levels⁠

Choose how much reasoning each loop uses to balance speed, cost, and task complexity. Keep routine work fast and cost-efficient, and reserve deeper reasoning for more demanding tasks.

Auto uses your workspace’s default setting, or select Low, Medium, or High for more control.

Figma MCP server⁠

Linear Agent can now read and update Figma designs. Share a frame to turn a design into implementation requirements, or ask the agent to create a design proposal from an issue.

Learn more and get connected on the Figma integration page.

Cursor Origin sync⁠

You can now keep Linear issues in sync with PRs in your Cursor Origin repos. Use a phrase like “Fixes PROD-120” in the PR title or description, and status automations in Linear automatically update the issue as work progresses.
