Linear is where engineering builds. Lane’s Linear integration connects planning to delivery: push a Plan into Linear as an issue, keep its status in sync as engineering works, and — on Business — send the customer demand behind a Plan so the team sees who’s asking and why.

​
Connect

Go to Settings → Integrations → Linear and connect your Linear workspace via OAuth. Available on Pro and Business.

​
Push a Plan to Linear

From a Plan, use Send to → Linear. Lane creates a Linear issue from the Plan and links the two, so you can jump between them. The linked issue shows in the Plan’s detail drawer.

​
Keep status in sync

Map your Linear workflow states to your Lane Plan statuses in the Linear settings. When engineering moves an issue — say to “In Progress” or “Done” — the linked Plan’s status updates in Lane automatically, so Lane always reflects where delivery actually is. Status sync is available on Pro and Business.

​
Close the loop automatically

This is where it pays off. Once status sync is set up, shipping is the only action anyone has to take:
  1. Engineering moves the issue to a shipped state in Linear.
  2. The linked Plan flips to that status in Lane automatically.
  3. Because the Plan reached a shipped status, closing the loop fires on its own — every customer behind the Plan’s committed feedback is told, in the source they originally used: a reply in their Slack thread, a note on their Intercom or Zendesk conversation.
Ship once in Linear, and the people who asked for it hear back — nobody has to remember to follow up, and nothing falls through.

​
Customer requests

Linear has its own customer-requests feature, and Lane can feed it: the feedback a Plan commits — with the customers and revenue behind it — is pushed as Linear customer requests, so engineers see the real demand, not just a ticket. Customer requests are available on Business (and during the trial).

A: A Linear issue, linked back to the Plan so status can sync between them. Q: Does the Plan’s status update when engineering moves the issue?
A: Yes — once you’ve mapped Linear states to your Plan statuses, changes in Linear flow back onto the Plan. Q: What are customer requests?
A: The customer feedback committed to a Plan, pushed into Linear’s customer-requests view so the demand and revenue behind the work are visible there. Available on Business. Q: Which plans include Linear?
A: Connecting and status sync are on Pro and Business; customer requests are on Business (and the trial).
