Linear is an issue tracking and project management tool that helps software teams streamline their workflows. It provides features for managing tasks, tracking bugs, and planning sprints to improve productivity and collaboration.

1. Add your Linear access

  1. In the Destinations tab, click on the “Add destination” button located on the top right of your screen. Then, select the Linear option from the list of connectors.
  2. Click Next and you’ll be prompted to add your access:
    • Access Token: Log in with your Linear account to authorize the Nekt connector.
    • Endpoint: The API endpoint to send data to. Currently, only CustomerUpsert is supported.
    • Enable partial success: Whether the connector should continue trying to sync records after one fails.
  3. Click Next.

2. Select your catalog data to send

  1. The next step is letting us know which data you want to send. Select the layer and then the desired table.
    Tip: The table can be found more easily by typing its name.
  2. Click Next.

3. Map your data fields

Configure how the fields from your source table should be mapped to the fields in the selected endpoint. Below you can find the supported fields for each endpoint.

4. Configure your Linear data destination

  1. Describe your destination for easy identification within your organization. You can inform things like what data it brings, to which team it belongs, etc.
  2. To define your Trigger, consider how frequently you need to have the data updated on the destination (every day, once a week, only at specific times, etc.).
  3. Click Done.

Check your new destination!

  1. Once completed, you’ll receive confirmation that your new destination is set up!
  2. You can view your new destination on the Destinations page. Now, for you to be able to see it on Linear, you have to wait for the pipeline to run. You can monitor it on the Destinations page to see its execution and completion. If needed, manually trigger the pipeline by clicking on the refresh icon. Once executed, your data should be seen on Linear.
