Connecting to Linear

Once your users have connected their Linear account, you can use the Paragon SDK to access the Linear API on behalf of connected users.

See the Linear REST API documentation for their full API reference.

Any Linear API endpoints can be accessed with the Paragon SDK as shown in this example.

// You can find your project ID in the Overview tab of any Integration

// Authenticate the user
paragon.authenticate(<ProjectId>, <UserToken>);
            
// Get all issues associated with a given team ID
paragon.request("linear", "/", {
  method: "POST",
  body: {
    "query": `
      query Team {
      team(id: "<Team ID>") {
        id
        name
    
        issues {
          nodes {
            id
            title
            description
            assignee {
              id
              name
            }
            createdAt
            archivedAt
          }
        }
      }
    }` 
  }
});

// Get an issue by ID
paragon.request("linear", "/", {
  method: "POST",
  body: {
    "query": `query Issue {
      issue(id: "<Issue ID>") {
        id
        title
        description
      }
    }`
  }
});
  

Building Linear workflows

Once your Linear account is connected, you can add steps to perform the following actions:

• Create Issue

• Update Issue

• Get Issue by ID

• Get Issue by Issue Identifier

• Search Issues

• Delete Issue

• Archive Issue

• Create Sub-Issue

• Create Project

• Update Project

• Get Project by ID

When creating or updating issues and projects in Linear, you can reference data from previous steps by typing {{ to invoke the variable menu.

Using Webhook Triggers

Webhook triggers can be used to run workflows based on events in your users' Linear account. For example, you might want to trigger a workflow whenever new issues are created in Linear to sync your users' Linear issues to your application in real-time.

You can find the full list of Webhook Triggers for Linear below:

• Issue Created

• Issue Status Updated

• Label Added or Removed from Issue

• Issue Deleted
