Linear is a work management platform used by product and engineering teams to manage issues, projects, cycles, comments, and labels. Beam agents can read those records, apply an approved rule, create or update the next record, and route exceptions for review. Start with an event such as an issue changes status or needs an owner, then confirm account permissions and connector availability before moving it into production
What the Linear integration does
Linear is a work management platform used by product and engineering teams to manage issues, projects, cycles, comments, and labels. In Beam, it becomes a controlled action point: agents can retrieve the context they need, make an approved update, and hand unusual cases to a person. The exact objects and permissions depend on the connector configuration, so use the capability evidence in the migration record when defining a workflow.
How Beam agents use Linear
A workflow starts with an event such as an issue changes status or needs an owner. The agent checks issues, projects, cycles, comments, and labels in Linear, applies the workflow rule, performs the permitted update, and records the result. If the data is incomplete or the requested action falls outside the connector's permissions, the agent routes the case for review instead of guessing.
Example workflows
When an issue changes status or needs an owner, a Beam agent reads issues, projects, cycles, comments, and labels in Linear, updates the next record, and routes exceptions to the responsible owner.
When a workflow request arrives, a Beam agent retrieves issues, projects, cycles, comments, and labels from Linear, applies the agreed rule, and records the outcome for product and engineering teams.
After a status, approval, or delivery event changes, a Beam agent checks issues, projects, cycles, comments, and labels in Linear, sends the next notification, and leaves an auditable handoff.
Operational value
Fewer manual handoffs between Linear and the systems around it.
A clearer audit trail for issues, projects, cycles, comments, and labels and exception handling.
More consistent movement from an issue changes status or needs an owner to the next owner or system.
Before you build
Confirm the supported issues, projects, cycles, comments, and labels, authentication scopes, and availability for your Beam workspace. Keep exception handling explicit: the agent should pause and route a case when required data or permissions are missing.
