What is Linear?

Linear is the issue tracker many software and product teams run on, issues, projects, initiatives, and the customer needs behind them. Keeping it current means a steady stream of small actions: filing issues, updating status, adding labels, leaving comments, linking work to projects. This connection lets Fabric's assistant handle that for you, in plain language.

What Fabric's assistant can do with Linear

Once your Linear is connected, Fabric's AI assistant can act on your workspace from plain-language requests.

Find things. Find an issue by ID or name, find comments on an issue, find a project or customer by ID, so you can locate work without scanning the workspace.

Manage issues. Create and update issues, add and remove labels, create issue attachments, and create comments, the everyday triage that keeps a tracker current.

Manage projects and customers. Create projects, customers, and customer needs, so the planning layer around your issues stays in step with the work.

Because you ask in your own words, you describe what should happen and the assistant maps it to the right Linear action or trigger.

You stay in control

The assistant acts only when you ask. For anything that changes existing work, updating an issue, removing a label, it confirms with you before going ahead where the change is consequential, unless you've told it not to for a particular task. Finding and reading never change anything in your workspace.

When something should happen regularly, you can set up a Fabric AI job that runs on a schedule, filing issues from a recurring source, labelling or triaging new ones, posting updates, so the routine tracker upkeep runs itself while you keep approval over the rest.

Search your Linear from Fabric

Alongside the assistant, connecting Linear adds keyword search over your workspace from Fabric's main search, so an issue, project, or comment is findable by matching text in the same place you search the rest of your library, rather than searching Linear separately.

How people use it

Engineers file and update issues by asking, keeping the tracker current without breaking flow, which fits how Fabric works for developers.

Product managers have the assistant manage projects, customer needs, and issue triage across the workspace. It suits how product managers work.

Teams let issue and project activity trigger follow-on actions, so the tracker helps move work along rather than just recording it.

People with recurring tracker chores set up a scheduled AI job to handle labelling, triage, or filing, while keeping approval over changes to existing work.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Linear connection do?

It lets Fabric's AI assistant manage your Linear workspace, taking actions like creating and updating issues, managing labels, and creating projects, customers, and comments. It also adds keyword search over your workspace in Fabric.

What can the assistant do in Linear?

It can find issues, projects, customers, and comments, create and update issues, add and remove labels, create issue attachments, create comments, and create projects, customers, and customer needs. You ask in plain language rather than choosing from a fixed list.

Does the assistant change my workspace on its own?

No. It acts only when you ask, and for consequential changes to existing work it confirms with you first, unless you've deliberately told it not to for a specific task. Finding and reading change nothing.

Can I automate issue triage?

Yes. A Fabric AI job can run on a schedule, for example labelling or triaging new issues, while you keep approval over changes to existing work.

Can I search my Linear workspace?

Yes, by keyword, from Fabric's main search, so an issue, project, or comment is findable by matching text alongside the rest of your library.

Is my Linear data secure?

Everything in Fabric is encrypted in transit and at rest. The connection acts on your workspace with your authorisation, and you control what it does. The details are in the privacy and security guide and Fabric's privacy commitment.

Does this work through MCP or the API?

Fabric also exposes your library and connected tools to external AI through its MCP server and API; this connection is the built-in way to have Fabric's own assistant work with your Linear.

Does Fabric work with other tools alongside Linear?

Yes. Linear is one of many connections. You can also connect Notion, Google Drive, and Gmail, and automate across many apps with Zapier.
