Pulse

Pulse keeps you informed about your workspace's project and initiative updates.

A notification from Pulse in Inbox

Overview

Pulse is a feed of project and initiative updates in your workspace. It's available as a sidebar item when you want to read full updates as written, and optionally as daily or weekly summaries delivered to your Inbox. Pulse notifications can also be listened to as audio from your Linear inbox on desktop, browser, or mobile.

Basics

Enable Pulse

Admins can turn on Pulse for their workspace in Settings > Pulse, and set a default schedule of when summary notifications are delivered (Weekly on Mondays, every weekday, or never). When users customize a schedule, they will override the default. Pulse is not available to Guests.

View Pulse

Read the full text of updates from the Pulse page in your sidebar. Optionally, customize your sidebar by right clicking on to change whether Pulse always appears, only appears when badged, or never appears.

Pulse offers several tabs in order to focus on the updates you want to see.

The For me tab includes projects you belong to, or may be interested in. Popular gives priority to recent updates with emoji or comment engagement. All displays every update, organized by recency.

Pulse is in beta, and we'd like to know what you think! Reach out to us at feedback@linear.app or via the ? menu in the bottom left corner of Linear to share your thoughts.
