Choose what to import
Which Linear teams, projects, labels and dates decide what Feedvote imports with Two-way sync.
With Two-way sync, Feedvote imports work from Linear. The Filters step of the Linear setup decides which Linear issues and projects are imported. Filters only apply to Two-way sync, because Send to Linear only never imports from Linear.
Linear teams
You first select one or more Linear teams. Everything in the selected Linear teams is imported unless you narrow it down with the filters below.
Filters
| Filter | What it does |
|---|---|
| Only projects with these labels | A Linear project is imported as a roadmap item when it has any of these labels. Leave it empty to import every project. |
| Only issues in these projects | Imports only Linear issues that belong to the selected Linear projects. |
| Only issues with these labels | Imports only Linear issues that have the selected labels. |
| Date rule and Reference date | Limits the import by the date an item was created in Linear. The date rule can be After date, Before date or On exact date. Leave the date empty to import regardless of age. |
| Skip completed work | Does not import items already marked done in Linear. |
Which filters each import mode shows
Which filters you see depends on the import mode you chose in the What to sync step.
| Import mode | Filters you see |
|---|---|
| Issues only | Only issues in these projects, Only issues with these labels, Date rule, Reference date, Skip completed work |
| Projects only | Only projects with these labels, Date rule, Reference date, Skip completed work |
| Projects + issues | All filters: Only projects with these labels, Only issues in these projects, Only issues with these labels, Date rule, Reference date, Skip completed work |
There are three import modes. There is no other mode.
Review and start the import
The Review & import step shows What will be imported, including the sync direction, the filters, and your settings for public descriptions and public comments.
A large import can take a few minutes. Keep the page open while it runs. Feedvote sends you an email when a large import is finished. When the import is done, the Linear setup shows Import complete.
Change the filters later
- Open the Linear setup under Settings > Integrations.
- Change the teams or filters.
- Click Save & re-import to apply the new filters to the import. To save settings without a new import, click Save settings.
Common questions
Why are some of my Linear issues not in Feedvote?
Check the filters in the Linear setup. An issue is skipped when it is outside the selected Linear teams, outside Only issues in these projects, missing a label in Only issues with these labels, outside the Date rule, or already done while Skip completed work is on.
How do I import every issue from a Linear team?
Select the Linear team and leave the other filters empty. Everything in the selected Linear teams is imported unless you narrow it down with filters.
Why don't I see the project filters?
The filters depend on the import mode. Only projects with these labels shows with Projects only and Projects + issues. Only issues in these projects and Only issues with these labels show with Issues only and Projects + issues.
Can I skip issues that are already done?
Yes. Turn on Skip completed work. Feedvote then does not import items already marked done in Linear.
Do filters apply to Send to Linear only?
No. Send to Linear only never imports anything from Linear into Feedvote, so there is nothing to filter.
How Linear sync works
What Feedvote syncs with Linear in each sync direction, how Linear states map to board statuses, and which settings control descriptions and comments.
