Linear integration

Connect Linear with your Softr applications to turn app activity into tracked work. Build workflows that create Linear issues automatically — from form submissions, new sign-ups, or record changes — so every request lands in the team’s queue without anyone copying it over by hand.

Overview

The Softr Linear integration links your no-code apps directly to your Linear workspace. Whenever something happens in Softr — a customer reports a bug, a record gets flagged, a new request comes in — you can automatically create a Linear issue in the right team, with the title, description, assignee, priority, status, labels, project, and due date filled in from your workflow. Whether you’re building a client portal, an internal operations tool, or a support dashboard, the Linear integration closes the gap between what happens in your Softr app and the work your team plans and ships in Linear.

Available Actions

Create issue

Create a new issue in a Linear team with a title, description, assignee, priority, status, labels, project, and due date — all set dynamically from your Softr workflow. Teams, assignees, statuses, labels, and projects are chosen from live dropdowns pulled straight from your connected Linear workspace.

Get issue

Fetch the full details of any Linear issue by its ID or identifier (like ENG-123) — title, status, assignee, priority, labels, and dates — and use them in the next steps of your workflow.

Update issue

Change any field of an existing issue: retitle it, reassign it, move it to another status, team, or project, adjust its priority or labels, or set a new due date. Only the fields you fill in are changed.

Delete issue

Move an issue to Linear’s trash when it’s no longer needed — for example when the related record is removed from your Softr app. Trashed issues stay recoverable in Linear for a grace period.

List issues

Fetch a batch of issues — from a specific team or your whole workspace — and use them in later steps, for example to build digests or sync summaries into your Softr database.

Create comment

Post a comment on any issue, with full Markdown support and optional threaded replies — perfect for pushing customer responses or status notes from your Softr app into the team’s discussion. Attach any URL to an issue — the Softr record it came from, a document, or a customer conversation — so the team has the full context one click away.

Key Benefits

  • No-code simplicity: Configure every Linear action visually in Softr — no code required beyond the one-time API key setup.
  • Instant issue creation: Turn any Softr form submission or record event into a Linear issue the moment it happens.
  • Always-current options: Teams, assignees, statuses, labels, and projects load directly from your Linear workspace, so you never hardcode IDs.
  • Right work, right team: Route each issue to the correct team, project, and assignee automatically, based on your Softr data.
  • Ops-ready portals: Build intake forms and internal tools in Softr that feed work straight into Linear, where your product team already plans its cycles.

Example Use Cases

How to Connect Softr with Linear

  4. To create an API key, open Linear and go to Settings → Security & access → Personal API keys, then click New API key.
  5. Click Save — Softr verifies your key and connects the account.
  6. Pick the team for the issue, map the remaining fields from your Softr forms or previous workflow steps, then activate your workflow.
