# Linear

> Connect your Linear workspace so approved actions and automation rules can file linked Linear issues from an incident.

The Linear integration lets scaling.cloud file a linked **Linear issue** from an incident — the destination for the **Create ticket** action used by both [proposed actions](/concepts/proposed-actions) and [automation rules](/concepts/automation-rules).

Unlike the [GitHub](/integrations/github) and [Sentry](/integrations/sentry) signal sources — which scaling.cloud *reads* to diagnose an incident — Linear is a **write** destination: scaling.cloud creates an issue in your workspace when an action fires.

## What it does

* Makes the **Create ticket** action available on an incident.
* When an approved proposed action or a matching automation rule runs, files a Linear issue and links it back to the incident.
* Nothing is filed automatically without a trigger — a proposed action still needs human approval, and an automation rule only fires on the event and conditions you configure.

## Connect

You need the **Admin** role in your scaling.cloud organization.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Linear integration">
    In scaling.cloud, go to **Settings → Integrations** and open the **Linear** card. If you are not an org admin, the connect button is disabled.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize scaling.cloud">
    Click **Connect Linear**. You'll be redirected to Linear to authorize the scaling.cloud integration for your workspace. Approve and you'll return to scaling.cloud, where the card shows **Connected**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use it in an action">
    With Linear connected, an approved [create-ticket proposed action](/guides/work-with-ai-findings#approve-a-proposed-action) or a [create-ticket automation rule](/guides/create-automation-rule) files a linked Linear issue.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  A **Create ticket** action can only run if Linear is connected. If it isn't,
  the action can't file an issue — connect Linear first, or choose a different
  action.
</Warning>

## Remove the integration

Open **Settings → Integrations → Linear** and click **Disconnect Linear**. scaling.cloud stops filing issues to your workspace immediately. Issues already filed are unaffected.
