Integrations

Linear notifications

Create Linear issues from HowlOps incident notifications.

Linear is a live, self-service ticket destination on every plan. It creates an issue through Linear's GraphQL API; it is not a bidirectional incident integration.

Set it up

  1. In Linear create a dedicated personal API key and copy the destination team's model UUID.
  2. Enter both values under Integrations → Channels → Linear.
  3. Save, send a test, and verify the issue in the intended team.

HowlOps creates issues for notifications admitted by routing and channel filters. Closing the Linear issue does not resolve the HowlOps incident, and projects, users, comments, and cycles are not synchronized.

Security and troubleshooting

Use a dedicated limited identity where possible. Revoke and replace the key to rotate, then test again. A display key such as ENG is not the required team UUID. Inspect Notification delivery log and see Linear API authentication.
