Feature requests sit in a feedback board while engineering work happens in Linear. Without a connection, product managers copy-paste context between the two, and users never hear back. The Quackback Linear integration lets you create a Linear issue directly from a feedback post, pre-filled with the post title, description, and vote count. Status syncs bi-directionally. When an engineer moves an issue to "Done" in Linear, the linked feedback post updates to "Shipped" and voters get notified. Product teams get a single view of demand, and engineers get user context without leaving Linear.
How it works
Connect Linear to Quackback in three steps.
Authorize with Linear
Connect your Linear workspace through OAuth from the Quackback integrations page. No API keys to manage.
Map teams and projects
Choose default Linear teams, projects, and labels for each Quackback board so new issues land in the right place.
Statuses sync both ways
Linear workflow state changes update feedback post statuses automatically, and vice versa. Voter notifications go out on status changes.
Why connect Quackback to Linear
One-click issue creation with context
Create a Linear issue from any feedback post with a single click. The issue is pre-filled with the post title, body, and vote count, and you can assign it to a Linear team, project, and cycle before submitting.
Bi-directional status keeps everyone current
When an issue moves through Linear workflow states (Backlog, In Progress, Done), the linked feedback post status updates automatically. Product managers stop manually updating two systems, and voters see progress in real time.
Voters learn their request shipped
Closing a Linear issue triggers a status change on the feedback post, which sends email notifications to everyone who voted. Users who requested a feature months ago find out it was built, improving retention and trust.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Linear integration sync statuses both ways?
Yes. When an issue status changes in Linear, the linked feedback post status updates on your Quackback board, and vice versa.
