Connect Linear

You connect Linear to Feedvote from Settings > Integrations in the dashboard. The Linear setup guides you through choosing a sync direction, choosing what to import, and naming your board statuses.

Only the project owner or an admin can connect or disconnect Linear. For other team members, the Connect and Disconnect buttons in Settings > Integrations are disabled.

3. Review & import: check What will be imported and start the first import.
4. Statuses: name your board statuses.

The first importCopy Anchor Link

With Two-way sync, the first import starts in the Review & import step. A large import can take a few minutes. Keep the page open while the import runs. Feedvote sends you an email when a large import is finished. When the import is done, the Linear setup shows Import complete and the message "Your Linear data has been synced to Feedvote."

Change the setup laterCopy Anchor Link

1. In Settings > Integrations, click Settings next to Linear. This button shows once Linear is connected. The setup opens as Edit Linear Sync.
2. Change what you need.
3. Click Save settings to save without a new import. With Two-way sync, you can instead click Save & re-import to save and import again.

Only the project owner or an admin can open these settings.

Do not disconnect Linear to change the setup. Disconnecting Linear deletes the synced items, votes and comments in Feedvote.

Common questionsCopy Anchor Link

Where do I connect Linear?Copy Anchor Link

In the dashboard, open Settings > Integrations and start the Linear setup.

Can I change the sync direction after connecting?Copy Anchor Link

With Send to Linear only, the Direction step stays in Edit Linear Sync, so you can change it there. With Two-way sync connected, Edit Linear Sync starts at What to sync and has no Direction step, so you cannot switch the direction yourself. Contact support in writing. See Get help.

When does the setup show Edit Linear Sync?Copy Anchor Link

When you open it with the Settings button next to a connected Linear in Settings > Integrations. The first time you connect, the setup is not titled Edit Linear Sync.

How long does the first import take?Copy Anchor Link

It depends on how much you import. A large import can take a few minutes, and Feedvote emails you when it is finished.

Can I change my filters without importing again?Copy Anchor Link

Yes. In Edit Linear Sync, click Save settings to save without a new import. With Two-way sync, click Save & re-import when you want the new settings applied to an import.
