title: Linear | Lightfield
description: Connect Linear so the agent can find and update issues, projects and comments.
---

Connect Linear and the Lightfield agent can find, create and manage Linear issues, projects and comments when you ask in chat, for example turning a customer request from a meeting into a Linear issue linked to the account. Linear is a connector: you connect it in Settings → Connectors, not Settings → Integrations.

## Who can use it

Linear is on every plan, for owners, admins and members. Viewers don’t see Settings → Connectors. Each person connects their own Linear account, and the agent acts in Linear as that person, with their Linear permissions. If Linear isn’t listed in your Connectors, contact Lightfield.

Earlier plans can differ. [Check your workspace’s available features](/help/missing-feature/index.md).

## Connect Linear

1. Go to [Settings → Connectors](https://crm.lightfield.app/crm/settings/connectors/) and find **Linear**, or search for it.
2. Click **Connect**. Linear’s sign-in page opens.
3. Sign in to Linear if you aren’t already, review the access request, and click **Authorize**.

Linear returns you to Lightfield, and the connector shows **Connected** with the list of Linear **Tools** the agent can use. Lightfield connects through Linear’s own MCP connector with OAuth and never sees your Linear password.

## Use Linear in chat

Ask the agent to:

- find issues, projects and comments
- create an issue from a chat message, a meeting or a record
- change an issue’s status, assignee or other fields
- comment on an issue

Nothing from Linear is copied onto your records unless you ask the agent to add it, for example as a note on an account.

For example, open a customer account or meeting and ask:

> Create a Linear issue in the Platform team for the CSV export timeout Acme raised on today’s call, and add a note to the Acme account linking to it.

## Let automations use Linear

Automations are on Pro, Growth and Enterprise, and admins create them.

1. In Settings → Connectors, find your connected Linear connector.
2. Turn on **Use in workflows and automations**.

An automation that uses your Linear connector uses your Linear account and its permissions. See [Build an automation](/help/automations/build-an-automation/index.md). For how connectors work in general, see [Connectors](/help/settings/connectors/index.md).

## Disconnect Linear

Disconnecting removes Linear access from your chats and automations using this connection.

1. In Settings → Connectors, open the more menu (**…**) next to Linear.
2. Click **Disconnect**.

The agent can no longer read or change your Linear data. You can connect again at any time.

## Troubleshooting

### Linear shows This connector is disconnected

Your Linear access expired or was revoked. In Settings → Connectors, click **Reconnect** on Linear, then sign in and authorize again.

## Common questions

**Does connecting Linear copy my issues into Lightfield?** No. The agent looks up and changes issues in Linear when you ask. Nothing is stored on your records unless you ask for it.

**Can my teammates use my Linear connection?** No. Each person connects their own account. The exception is an automation that runs as you, once you turn on **Use in workflows and automations**.

**Can the agent act in Linear projects I can’t access?** No. It uses your Linear permissions.
