Teamplify + Linear

Connecting your Linear workspace unlocks multiple Teamplify features, including Team Analytics, Team Workflows, Time Tracking, Smart Standup, and 360° feedback. It also allows you to use Linear as a Single Sign-On provider.

Team Analytics

See how your team is working on Linear issues through the Team Analytics dashboard. You can explore multiple views, including the Team Calendar, Trends, Compare, and Collaboration Analysis.

Team Analytics data enhances Smart Standups and 360° feedback sessions, providing greater visibility and helping reduce bias.

Team Workflows

Configure the Teamplify bot to monitor specific events that may require a manager’s attention. Here's an example:

Have a task in progress. The bot politely reminds your teammates to mark their current task as "in progress" in Linear if they haven’t done so yet. It can also check whether anyone has too many tasks in progress at the same time.

In addition to this one, Teamplify offers a variety of other workflows, such as Provide task updates, Push the code regularly (for developers), and others.

Team Workflows are integrated with Time Off, so the bot knows each teammate's schedule and won't disturb them during vacations or on national holidays.

Time Tracking + Smart Standup

Once you connect your Linear workspace, you can immediately benefit from Effortless Time Tracking. This feature automatically logs time spent on each task by analyzing the task history and matching it with the work schedule.

It even works retroactively — if your team has been diligent about updating tasks in Linear, you’ll get fairly accurate time tracking reports for past months, even if you didn't track time explicitly.

In addition to Team Analytics, time tracking reports are also visible in Smart Standup, showing each team member’s current task and the time spent on it.

360° Feedback Sessions

Teamplify's 360° feedback sessions become even more effective with Linear data. By analyzing collaboration patterns in Linear issues, Teamplify can provide more accurate automated suggestions for feedback peers.

When giving or receiving feedback, human input is shown side-by-side with Team Analytics reports, offering a more comprehensive view of performance and helping reduce bias. Connecting Linear not only enhances Team Analytics but also improves the quality and fairness of your 360° feedback sessions.

Single Sign-On

To use Linear as your Single Sign-On (SSO) provider, first enable it in your Teamplify workspace settings. Once activated, your teammates can log in to Teamplify using their Linear accounts.

Multiple task trackers

With any Teamplify plan, you can connect as many integrations as you need. If you use multiple Linear workspaces, or use Linear alongside other task tracking systems like Jira, Asana, Trello, or GitHub Issues, you can connect them all to Teamplify and access unified analytics across all data sources.

Data being analyzed

Teamplify collects the following data from Linear:

  • Issues: title, description, reporter, assignees, date, due date, status, priority, parent issue, labels, comments, and full change history

How to connect Linear to Teamplify

  1. In your Teamplify workspace settings, go to Integrations and select the Linear integration. Here's a quick link:

    Linear Connect Linear

  2. Follow the instructions on the screen. You'll be redirected to Linear to authorize Teamplify to access your account.
  3. Teamplify will fetch the list of teams from Linear and display it on the integration page. Select the teams you want to sync.
  4. Under Issue Statuses, specify which statuses represent In progress and Done. This step is essential for Team Workflows and Effortless Time Tracking to function correctly.
  5. Under Bugs, select the labels that indicate bugs. Team Analytics uses this information in some of its reports.
  6. On the Linear integration page, click Accounts and link your teammates' Linear accounts with their Teamplify profiles. This allows Teamplify to track their activity in Linear. Alternatively, each team member can configure this directly in their Teamplify profile.

Uninstall

To disconnect your Linear workspace from Teamplify, go to your Teamplify workspace Settings > Integrations, select the Linear integration, and click Disconnect. All the data that Teamplify has collected from your Linear workspace will be automatically deleted within 48 hours.
