Connect Linear with Super Magic

Updated by Jake Gipson

Connect Linear and Super Magic can work with your issues, projects, and cycles — so when a ticket turns out to be a product bug, you can file it without leaving the conversation.

What you can ask

"Create a Linear issue for this bug and link this ticket in the description"

"Find Linear issues about the printer driver problem"

"What's in the current cycle?"

"Add a comment to LIN-123 with what the client just reported"

Anything that creates or changes something in Linear goes through Super Magic's Confirm action card first.

Set it up

Linear is a connector: an admin makes it available, then each member signs in with their own Linear account — Super Magic acts with your Linear permissions, not a shared bot account.

Admin (once):

  1. Open Super Magic settings → Connectors.
  2. Turn on the Linear toggle.

Each member (once):

  1. Open the Connectors page in your Inbox.
  2. Click Connect on the Linear row and sign in to Linear.
  3. The row shows Signed in as your account — done. Disconnect anytime.
Troubleshooting
  • Linear not on your Connectors page? Your admin hasn't enabled it, or your workspace isn't in the connectors release yet.
  • Connected but tools failing? Disconnect and reconnect — your Linear authorization may have been revoked on Linear's side.
  • Anything else: Super Magic Admin Guide → Troubleshooting.

Notes: the exact set is controlled by Linear and can change — Super Magic picks up changes automatically (tool list refreshes every ~5 minutes) and registers the vendor's tools 1:1, nothing filtered. In Super Magic each tool appears as linear_{name} (e.g. linear_list_issues). What a member can actually do is still bound by their own Linear permissions.
