Linear integration

TimeTracker can import Linear issues as tasks using a Personal API key and the public GraphQL API (Linear API docs).

Authentication

Linear is not OAuth in this connector: you create a Personal API Key in Linear (Settings → API) and paste it into TimeTracker when you connect the integration. The key is stored like other integration credentials.

What gets synced

  • Issues are fetched from Linear (paginated) and upserted as tasks under per-team projects (created or matched by integration metadata).
  • Task name: IDENTIFIER: title (e.g. ENG-42: Fix login).
  • Description: issue URL (when available).
  • Status: mapped to done when the Linear workflow state name is done/completed/canceled (case-insensitive); otherwise todo.

Optional JSON custom_fields on tasks stores integration metadata (e.g. Linear identifier and URL) for matching on later syncs.

Configuration

Field Purpose
API key Linear personal API key
Team keys (optional) Comma-separated team keys (e.g. ENG,MOB). If empty, issues from all accessible teams are considered (subject to API visibility).
Automatic sync When enabled, runs on the integration schedule like other connectors.

Use Test connection to verify the key; use Sync now for a manual import.

Limits and notes

  • Sync walks up to a bounded number of GraphQL pages per run to avoid runaway imports.
  • The TimeTracker server must reach https://api.linear.app.
  • Webhooks are not required; sync is pull-based from Linear.
