The Linear integration enables your team to create Linear issues directly from LaunchSafe findings, fitting security remediation into your existing engineering workflow.

​
Prerequisites

  • A Linear workspace with admin access
  • An active LaunchSafe workspace

​
Setup

1

Navigate to Integrations

In the LaunchSafe dashboard, go to Integrations in the sidebar and locate the Linear card.
2

Connect Linear

Click Connect Linear. You’ll be redirected to Linear’s OAuth authorization page.
3

Authorize LaunchSafe

Grant LaunchSafe access to your Linear workspace. LaunchSafe requests permission to:
  • Read teams and projects
  • Create, read, and update issues
  • Add comments and attachments
4

Select your team

Choose the Linear team where security issues should be created. You can also configure:
  • Default project — assign issues to a specific project (e.g., “Security Backlog”)
  • Labels — automatically apply labels like security or vulnerability
  • Cycle — optionally assign issues to the current cycle

​
Creating issues from findings

From any finding in LaunchSafe:
  1. Click the Create Linear Issue button on the finding detail page
  2. Review the pre-populated fields
  3. Optionally adjust team, project, assignee, or cycle
  4. Click Create — the issue is created in Linear
  5. A link to the Linear issue appears on the finding

Priority mapping

Why Linear works well for security issues

Linear’s workflow model aligns naturally with vulnerability remediation:
  • Triage → finding discovered, issue created, awaiting review
  • Backlog → finding reviewed, prioritized for a future cycle
  • In Progress → developer actively working on the fix
  • Done → fix deployed, verified by rescan
LaunchSafe’s severity-to-priority mapping ensures critical vulnerabilities surface at the top of your team’s queue automatically.

​
Bulk issue creation

Select multiple findings from the Findings page and create Linear issues in bulk. Each finding becomes a separate issue in your configured team, with appropriate priority and labels applied.

​
Issue tracking

Once a Linear issue is created from a finding, LaunchSafe tracks the association:
  • The finding shows a Linear issue link for quick navigation
  • Duplicate issue creation is prevented (you’ll see a warning if an issue already exists)
  • When you rescan and the vulnerability is resolved, the finding is marked as fixed — you can close the Linear issue

​
Disconnecting

Go to Integrations → Linear → Disconnect. Existing Linear issues are not affected.
