Linear agent for Slack⁠

Creating issues has never been easier. Mention @Linear in discussions on Slack, and the Linear agent will create issues informed by your conversation's context. Use natural language to specify issue details or simply let the agent infer what's needed.

Linear agent is available now on Business and Enterprise plans. Update your Slack integration, then create issues by mentioning @Linear in Slack.

Learn more in our docs.

Mobile app redesign⁠

We’ve refreshed our iOS and Android apps with a new visual design system. Both now use a custom frosted glass material that adds depth and contrast to the UI.

Navigation has been rebuilt with a new bottom toolbar for quick access to core workflows. You’ll also now find a "Create Issue" button at the top of every screen.

Update now in the App Store and Play Store.

Factory agent⁠

Users of Factory AI coding agents can now access them directly within Linear. Delegate an issue to Factory to spin up a remote workspace and launch a coding agent.

Factory’s remote workspaces allow you to create custom development environments for coding agents, so you can delegate several Linear issues simultaneously to run in consistent, isolated environments. Learn more about Factory in our Integration Directory.

Issue SLAs now available on Business plans⁠

Workspaces on the Business plan can now use SLAs to set clear expectations on when time-sensitive work should be completed.

SLAs apply automatically to issues based on configurable rules. When an SLA is at risk or becomes breached, issue subscribers receive immediate notifications. Learn more about SLAs in our docs.

Label descriptions and archiving⁠

Labels let you organize issues and projects in ways specific to your team or workspace. They can be used to define custom views and dashboards, or in Triage and SLA rules. We've made significant improvements to label functionality and management.

Label descriptions⁠

Add descriptions to labels to clarify their purpose and when they should be applied. Hover over a label from anywhere in the app to read its description. Label descriptions also help inform Product Intelligence on when to suggest a particular label.

Archiving labels⁠

Archive labels when they are no longer needed, but you wish to preserve historical data. Archived labels remain visible on issues and projects where they were previously applied and will continue to work in filters, insights, and views.

Label management⁠

We've shipped a series of quality of life improvements for managing labels. You can now easily update labels in bulk, merge multiple labels together, and see triage and SLA rules that they affect.

Issue discussion summaries⁠

Discussion summaries now appear on issues with substantial activity. Read these summaries to understand what's happened in an issue without reading every comment.

Summaries capture decisions, blockers, debates and their resolutions, and key people involved. When new comments are posted, summaries automatically regenerate to reflect changes.

Citations point back to specific comments that support the summary's claims. Hover over a citation to view the source material and click through to read the original comment. Issue discussion summaries are available on Business and Enterprise plans. Learn more in the docs.

Updates tab on projects and initiatives⁠

Visit the updates tab to see the history of all updates and changes to a project or initiative. Write new updates from this page and share the link with anyone in your workspace so they can track progress.

Updates appear in chronological order along with any changes to properties such as the target date, members, and milestones. On initiatives, display updates from sub-initiatives and projects, so you can see all relevant information in one place.

Sentry Agent⁠

Use the Sentry Agent to run a root cause analysis on any Linear issue linked to Sentry. Once assigned to an issue, the Sentry agent will analyze the related stack trace, logs, events, and other metadata and share its findings. You can use this analysis as additional context when fixing the problem, either manually or using a coding agent.

Date mentions⁠

Add date mentions in project descriptions, issues, and documents by typing @ followed by a date expression like @tomorrow, @October 12th, or @next Wednesday. Date mentions always resolve to the correct calendar date.

New to Product Intelligence: Auto-apply triage suggestions⁠

Let Product Intelligence take the first pass at triage and automatically apply suggestions to issues.

Set up rules to automatically accept suggestions for individual issue properties, or only for specific values. For example, you can configure triage suggestions to always apply the suggested team and assignee but only automatically apply specific labels like bug.

Properties that have been automatically applied are clearly marked in the suggestions header. Hover over them to review the reasoning or to make changes.

By letting Product Intelligence take the first pass, you can dramatically reduce the time it takes to triage issues. Your team can focus its attention fully on solving problems, rather than being continuously interrupted.

You can configure Triage suggestions at the workspace or team level. It is part of Product Intelligence, which is available in Technology Preview to anyone on the Business and Enterprise plans.

To get started, ask your workspace admin to enable Product Intelligence or learn more in the docs.

OAuth improvements⁠

We're moving OAuth apps to use short-lived access tokens for user-initiated OAuth. These new tokens will be valid for 24 hours and paired with refresh tokens.

Starting October 1st, 2025, all newly created OAuth apps will issue refresh tokens by default. Existing apps will have until April 1st, 2026 to migrate to the new refresh token system.

We also added support for the client_credentials grant type for apps that use OAuth tokens for direct server-to-server communication and cannot support a user-initiated OAuth flow involving refresh tokens.

View the updated OAuth developer documentation to learn more.

Salesforce integration⁠

Linear's Salesforce integration connects customer cases and account data from your CRM with product work in Linear.

Escalate customer cases to the product team by creating Linear issues or linking existing ones — directly from Salesforce. Customer-facing teams can submit feature requests, share product feedback, and report bugs affecting existing customers or impacting new opportunities.

Linear issue details are surfaced directly in Salesforce and updated in realtime. This lets you keep track of development progress, close the loop with customers when issues are completed, and engage prospects as soon as their feature requests ship.

Salesforce account data also syncs with Linear. Product teams can view customer requests alongside details like revenue, tier, and company size, helping them prioritize the most impactful product work.

Any Salesforce case field can now be used to filter issues in Linear. Create custom views and stay updated with view notifications, or create Triage rules based on Salesforce case fields to automatically prioritize and route issues.

The Salesforce integration is available as a paid add-on to the Enterprise plan. Contact sales to learn more and request a trial.

Sync customer data⁠

Customer attributes can now be synced from external data sources like Zendesk, Intercom, Front, or Salesforce.

Map attributes in Linear — like revenue, tier, status, customer owner, and company size — to corresponding attributes in your external system of record. Linear automatically syncs updates from your external data source, ensuring data in Linear always stay up to date.

To get started, head to customer requests settings and select a source. Customer data syncing is available on Business and Enterprise plans for Zendesk, Intercom, Front. You must have the Salesforce integration (add-on to the Enteprise plan) in order to sync customer data from Salesforce.

Cursor background agents⁠

Assign issues to Cursor and launch background agents from within Linear.

You can now add Cursor as an agent in your workspace. The Cursor agent can work alongside your team to make code changes or answer questions. When an issue is delegated to Cursor, it will use the full issue context to create a plan and start working on an implementation.

Engineers can fully delegate well-defined issues to Cursor without leaving Linear. Describe the task in plain language and Cursor will automatically create a branch, draft a PR, and notify you when the work is ready for review. If the code changes need further refinement, you can continue prompting by commenting on the issue or take over the work directly in the Cursor app with a seamless handoff.

Cursor background agents can be used by your whole team—not just engineers. Team members can directly ask Cursor how the code functions to investigate customer issues, rather than escalate all of those questions to engineering. Designers and PMs can specify quick prototypes to validate new ideas, or even ask the agent to handle small UI fixes, copy updates, or other polishing tasks.

You can monitor all issues delegated to Cursor and other agents from the My Issues view and you'll be notified when an agent needs your input or when their work is complete.

To add Cursor to your Linear workspace, enable the integration. You'll be asked to link your individual Cursor account when you delegate an issue to Cursor for the first time. Check out the Cursor documentation to learn more.

Initiative views⁠

Build curated lists of initiatives that can be shared with the rest of your team. Views can be created by filtering on properties—like owner and teams—or by specifying specific initiatives that you want to include.

Create an initiative view by going to your workspace's views page or by filtering your initiatives list and saving it as a new view. Initiative views are available on enterprise plans.

Product Intelligence (Technology Preview)⁠

Product Intelligence streamlines your product operations with AI assistance for routine, manual tasks. Today we are previewing the first of its capabilities: automating the overhead of triage intake.

When activated, Product Intelligence examines all issues sent to Triage and does the tedious parts of the intake process for you. It will research past and existing issues for context, making informed suggestions on which team, projects, and assignee to route the new issue to. It also identifies related issues and likely duplicates.

You can accept or dismiss the suggestions, or hover over them to see the reasoning behind the match.

If you want to give Product Intelligence more context to steer its behavior, you can add additional guidance at the workspace, team, or sub-team levels.

Product Intelligence transforms intake from an inconsistent, research-heavy process into an automated approval flow. Because suggestions are based on your issue data, they will improve over time as you accept and dismiss them. The more you enrich your data, the more precise future suggestions become.

Product Intelligence is available in Technology Preview to anyone on the Business and Enterprise plans. To get started, ask your workspace admin to enable it in Product Intelligence settings and learn more in the docs.

Mobile: New search experience⁠

Mobile search now uses our hybrid semantic search engine to find comprehensive results beyond just keyword matching. When you open search, you'll see recently viewed issues, projects, and documents, along with navigation shortcuts. Start typing to filter the recently viewed list or press Enter to search across all of your issues, projects, and documents.

Customize Asks email auto-replies⁠

Linear Asks helps internal teams manage workplace requests from Slack and email. For Asks over email, choose when an automated reply is sent, and customize the exact message. Go to Asks settings and select an intake email to configure your custom replies.

Attio integration⁠

Share user feedback and sync customer details from Attio and into Linear with their integration. Create customer requests from any company, person, deal, or call from within Attio and add them to Linear projects and issues.

Agent Interaction Guidelines and SDK⁠

Since the launch of Linear for Agents, teams have started using agents to accomplish real work inside of Linear. We've seen developers build agents that can write requirements, scope issues and projects, perform QA, fix bugs, and build features. From those early explorations, we’ve learned a lot about what makes agent collaboration work well — and where there’s still room to improve.

Agent Interaction Guidelines⁠

We've distilled the learnings from our agent partners into a new framework called the Agent Interaction Guidelines (AIG). These principles and practices help developers design agents that integrate more naturally into human workflows.

If you're building agents and thinking through similar challenges, we encourage you to use AIG as a reference. AIG is a living document, and we expect to continually add to it as we learn more in practice.

Agent Interaction SDK (Developer preview)⁠

To put the AIG principles into practice, we are also releasing a developer preview of our new Agent Interaction SDK. The Agent Interaction SDK gives developers a structured way to define how agents communicate status and progress. Now, developers can define how agents should communicate with the users using our SDK, and Linear renders the appropriate UI automatically.

Here's what's new in the Agent Interaction SDK:

Agent Delegation

Assignment now reflects accountability. When a user delegates an issue to an agent, the user remains the primary assignee, while the agent is added as a contributor working on the user's behalf.

Agent Session

Agents can share a rich status indicating whether they’re actively working, waiting for input, have encountered an error, or completed their work.

Agent Activity

Agents can expose detailed activity like their reasoning steps, tool usage, prompts for clarification, and final responses.

These updates give agent developers a structured, semantic way to communicate agent behavior, while giving users realtime visibility into what agents are doing — all within Linear where teams already manage their work.

The Agent Interaction SDK is available as a developer preview, and developers can start implementing the new capabilities today. To build your own agent, check out the Developing agents doc and join the #api-agents channel in our Community Slack for support.

Dashboards⁠

Create dashboards to track key metrics for your team or workspace.

Dashboards let you combine data from different insights into a single page view. Use them to monitor operational health across teams and workflows or build reporting dashboards to show how resources are spent across initiatives and projects.

Dashboards are modular and customizable. You can display insights as charts, tables, or single-number metrics, depending on your needs. Dashboards can be filtered to target a specific team or scope. Drill into specific insights and segments to view the underlying issues and examine patterns or outliers. From there, take action—assign work, update statuses, or triage directly from the issue list.

You can share dashboards with your workspace, to a specific team, or kept private as personal dashboards. To create your first dashboard, go to the Dashboards tab under Views or start from an existing insight and choose Add to dashboard.

Dashboards are available on the Enterprise plan or with an enterprise trial starting today. Learn more in the docs and watch the demo video below.

Quick navigation in Settings⁠

Navigate between pages in Settings using the command menu (Cmd/Ctrl K). From anywhere else in the app, use O then S to find and open a specific Settings page.

Notion AI Connector⁠

Search across Linear projects and issues directly from Notion AI. Once you've set up the integration, Notion AI will have access to all project and issue details including the title, description, assignee, creator, and issue comments.
