Updates in Linear—such as creating or updating issues, commenting, or managing cycles—are reflected in Timely in real time. **Mapping:** Linear Teams sync to Timely Clients, Linear Projects sync to Timely Projects, and Linear Issues (including sub-issues) are available as references for time tracking. Labels are imported as Timely tags. Time entries logged in Timely can be linked directly to Linear issues, with a reference and direct link back to Linear.  ### **AI-Powered Automation** - Work activity in Linear is captured automatically as users create issues, update projects, comment, and manage cycles. - Memories provide context for what happened throughout the day. - Timely’s AI suggests complete time entries, allowing users to log their entire day in one click. **Customization:** Configure which Linear teams to sync, whether to create projects, import users and create tags from Linear labels—so the integration fits your workflow. **Security:** Uses OAuth authentication, encrypted data transfer, and enterprise-grade infrastructure. Timely accesses Linear data in read-only mode and never modifies issues or project structure. ### **Benefits** - **Accuracy:** Capture every hour automatically with AI-assisted time suggestions linked to Linear issues—no missing or misattributed time. - **Reporting:** Access complete, real-time time data for sprint analysis, forecasting, budgeting, and delivery insights. Understand how time is spent across teams, projects, and initiatives from planning to completion. - **Efficiency:** Eliminate manual time entry, context switching, and duplicate task management. Teams stay focused on delivery while Timely handles time tracking in the background. - **Ideal For:** Product teams, engineering teams, project managers, and agencies using Linear who want effortless time tracking and reliable reporting without disrupting existing workflows. ### **Requirements & Setup** - Requires a Timely Premium, Unlimited, or Enterprise plan. - Simple setup takes less than five minutes (requires an initial admin connection). ### Support [New Linear Sync Integration](/help/handbook/integrations/linear-sync/) ### Details Details API used Linear API Permission A user who is admin in Linear and in Timely can connect the two accounts and map the entities for the entire team. Details **What Gets Synced:** Linear Teams → Timely Clients Linear Projects → Timely Projects Linear Issues (and sub-issues) → Issue references for time entries Linear Labels → Timely tags Linear issue and project activity → Memories **Task Sync Rules** If issues are synced and a Linear team is not selected for syncing in Timely, its issues will not be imported or made available for time tracking. Linear issues appear as _“memories”_ on the Timely timeline. They can be attached to time entries as references but are not written back to Linear, ensuring Linear remains the source of truth.
