DocumentationTrack DevOps Progress in Linear Tickets

Track DevOps Progress in Linear Tickets

Warestack provides an integration that helps teams get updates on their DevOps events — such as GitHub issues, PRs, deployment reviews, and workflow runs — directly as comments in associated Linear tickets.

Perfect for tech leads and PMs who need instant visibility into development progress without leaving their project management workflow. This way, everything is documented for visibility, and the whole team stays on track.

The Fintech Use Case

Imagine your team opens a pull request without the required reviewers. Normally, this might slip through and only be noticed later — after it causes delays, broken releases, or risky changes.

With the Warestack – Linear integration, the violation is caught right away, a Linear issue is automatically created or updated, and both Developers and PMs get instant visibility, without any extra work.

Like that you can:

  • Catch problems right away as issues show up in Linear as soon as they happen.
  • Work together easily, as PMs, Devs, and SREs see the same information.
  • Keep records in one place including GitHub PRs, protection rules, workflow runs, and Linear tickets stay in sync.
  • Save time and no manual tracking, less switching between tools, faster work.
  • SOC-2 compliance becomes automated as all events and violations are documented for further audits.

This tutorial walks you through setting up the Warestack – Linear integration. You’ll see how to connect Linear, configure triggers, and automatically receive DevOps updates (PRs, workflow runs, rule violations) as comments inside your Linear tickets.

Step 1: Connect Linear

You only need to do this once.

From the Warestack dashboard, go to Integrations to view available software connections. Click Connect next to Linear to start the installation.

Step 2: Activate Post Actions

Open Post actions from the left menu to configure what happens inside Linear after events are executed.

Choose Linear Integration to create your first post action and start receiving automatic comments in Linear for Warestack events. You can select your preferred combinations of events to send.

Select a team, event type, trigger conditions, and the Linear team that should receive the comments, then save the action. You can also configure additional rule violation triggers (e.g., “PRs must have at least 2 reviewers”). Configured actions will now appear in the Linear card.

Step 3: Work as Usual

Continue working as you normally would. Warestack runs in the background, checking events and automatically commenting when violations occur.

Check your Linear workspace where Warestack creates and updates tickets linked to GitHub PRs, workflow runs, and rule violations.
