Linear

Connect QA Hub to Linear to search issues from the Dashboard and enable automatic bug status polling.

Prerequisites

  • A Linear workspace with API access
  • A Linear personal API key

Generate a Linear API key

  1. Go to linear.appSettingsAPIPersonal API keys.
  2. Click Create key, give it a label (e.g., "QA Hub").
  3. Copy the key — it is shown only once.

Configure in QA Hub

  1. Go to Settings → Integrations.
  2. Select Linear as your connector.
  3. Enter your API Key.
  4. Click Test connection.
  5. Click Save.

Searching issues

The Dashboard search queries Linear's GraphQL API. Filters available:

FilterDescription
KeywordMatches issue title and description
StatusFilter by workflow state (e.g., "In Progress")
LabelFilter by label (e.g., "bug", "feature")
PriorityUrgent, High, Medium, Low, No priority
TeamFilter by Linear team

Bug status polling

When Linear is your active connector, QA Hub's background poller checks linked Linear issue statuses at a configurable interval (default: 30 seconds). When an issue reaches the configured done status (default: "Done"), QA Hub:

  • Marks the bug as resolved in the Bug Tracker
  • Queues the associated test case in the Retest queue
  • Sends an in-app notification and fires a bug.resolved webhook

Configure polling

Go to Settings → Analytics:

  • Check interval — How often to poll (in seconds). Lower values mean faster detection but more API calls.
  • Done status — The Linear status name that signals a bug is resolved. Default: "Done".

Issue shape

Each Linear issue returned by QA Hub includes:

{
"key": "LIN-123",
"title": "Guest checkout fails on mobile",
"description": "...",
"status": "In Progress",
"priority": "Urgent",
"labels": ["bug", "mobile"],
"url": "https://linear.app/acme/issue/LIN-123"
}
