Using Queue With Linear

Connect Linear to Queue and automate issue management, bug triage, project tracking, and engineering workflows with AI agents.

Linear is where many modern engineering teams plan, prioritize, and track their work. Issues, projects, roadmaps, and product discussions all flow through a single system that keeps teams aligned.

By connecting Linear to Queue, you can give AI agents direct access to your engineering workflow, allowing them to create issues, update statuses, triage bugs, summarize projects, and automate repetitive work.

In this guide, we'll walk through how to set up the Linear integration and highlight some of the most valuable use cases.

Connect your Linear workspace

Getting started only takes a few minutes.

Navigate to the Integrations section inside Queue, select Linear, and authorize access to your workspace. Once connected, Queue can securely interact with your teams, projects, issues, labels, and workflows.

After setup, you'll be able to choose which agents have access to Linear and what actions they're allowed to perform.

This gives teams complete control over how automation operates inside their workspace.

Give agents access to your workflow

Once connected, agents can interact with Linear just like a team member.

Depending on permissions, agents can:

• Create new issues

• Update issue status

• Assign tickets

• Add comments

• Organize labels

• Summarize projects

• Track progress across initiatives

• Sync information between tools

This allows agents to move beyond code and become active participants in your planning process.

Automate bug triage

One of the most popular uses of the Linear integration is automated bug triage.

When new issues are created, agents can review descriptions, identify duplicates, categorize tickets, suggest priority levels, and gather additional context before an engineer ever sees the issue.

This reduces manual overhead and helps teams focus on solving problems rather than organizing them.

Keep projects moving

Project updates often become outdated because nobody has time to maintain them.

Queue agents can monitor issue activity and automatically generate summaries, progress reports, and status updates for projects and initiatives.

Teams gain visibility into what is moving forward, what is blocked, and what requires attention without manually collecting information from dozens of tickets.

Connect Linear to the rest of your stack

The real power of Queue comes from combining Linear with other integrations.

For example, an agent can:

• Create a Linear issue from a Slack conversation

• Open a GitHub pull request linked to a ticket

• Update issue status after tests pass

• Generate release notes from completed work

• Notify teams when milestones are reached

By connecting multiple systems together, agents can automate workflows that would otherwise require constant manual coordination.

Best practices

When getting started, focus on workflows that are repetitive and easy to validate.

Issue creation, ticket categorization, project summaries, and status updates are excellent starting points. As your team becomes comfortable with automation, you can expand into more advanced workflows involving engineering, support, and operations.

The goal isn't to replace your process—it's to remove the manual work surrounding it.

What's next

The Linear integration is one of the easiest ways to bring AI into your existing engineering workflow.

With direct access to projects, issues, and planning data, agents can help teams stay organized, move faster, and spend less time on administrative work.

If Linear is where your team plans work, Queue helps make sure that work keeps moving.
