Linear

By connecting Super with your Linear account, you can instantly search for all your teams, issues, and comments directly in Super. This guide will walk you through the key aspects of the Super and Linear connection.


Connecting Linear & Super

This is the first step to get started. This section covers how to set up the connection between your Super and Linear accounts.


Required Permissions for Setup

To connect Super with Linear, you must have the necessary permissions in both platforms.
  • In Super: Permission to add or remove data sources depends on your team's settings. By default, only Admins or Owners can set up a connection. However, a Super Admin can enable a setting to allow all members to add or remove data sources.
  • In Linear: The user connecting the accounts must be an active admin in Linear.


Initial Linear Connection

To begin, you need to connect your Linear account with your Super account.
    In Super, navigate to the Data Sources page.
    Find the Linear option and click Connect your Linear.
    A new window will open. Super is requesting permission to access your Linear workspace. Review the permissions and click Allow.
    After clicking Allow, you will be redirected back to Super, where you can select the specific Linear teams you want to sync.
    Once you've selected your teams, the initial data sync will begin.


How Super Indexes Your Linear Projects and Issues

What We Sync

Super only syncs issues, comments, team information, and metadata from your Linear workspace. We don't sync things like private user data or internal Linear analytics.

Refresh Rate

New issues, comments, and updates appear in Super within a few seconds. When a team is first connected, Super performs an initial bulk import of all issues from the past 365 days.
Note: For the initial connection, Super performs a bulk import of all issues from the past 365 days. Due to API rate limits from Linear, this process may take some time to complete, especially if you have a large number of issues.

Metadata

To make your search results more useful, Super automatically pulls and indexes key information from your Linear issues. This includes:
  • Issue status (e.g., Backlog, In Progress, Done), priority, and labels.
  • Team and project information.
  • Assignee and creator details.
  • Creation and update timestamps.
  • URL references back to the original issue in Linear.


Access Control & Privacy

Super respects Linear's privacy settings. Private team issues are only accessible to members of that specific team. This ensures that a user in Super can only see search results for Linear data they would have access to.
