Overview
Read makes it easy to turn action items identified in your meetings into Linear issues, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. By pushing action items directly to Linear, you can streamline follow-up, improve accountability, and keep your projects up to date—without manual copy-paste.
Prerequisites
- Your Read account must be connected to Linear (refer "Connecting the integration" below)
- You must have permission to create issues in Linear.
- This feature is available on Read’s Pro, Enterprise, and Enterprise+ plans.
Connecting the integration
Like all of Read's integrations, you can find and enable the Linear integration from your Integrations page:
Using Multiple Linear Accounts?
Before connecting the integration, make sure you're logged into the Linear account you want to link with Read AI. Read can only connect to one Linear account at a time.
After clicking the "Connect" button, you'll get sent to Linear to authorize the connection. If you belong to a Read workspace, you may need to ask a workspace admin to enable the integration first before you can connect. They can do this by going to Manage Workspace > Settings > Integrations and toggling on Linear.
After connecting, you should be all set! You'll get redirected back to the Integrations page, where Linear will now appear as "Active".
How it works
- Read automatically detects action items from your meeting transcripts and summaries.
- You can review, edit, and select which action items to push to Linear as issues.
Step-by-step instructions
- Review Action Items
- After your meeting, open the meeting report in Read.
- Scroll to the “Action Items” section to see all detected follow-ups.
- Create Linear Tasks
- Next to each action item you want to track, click the “Create Linear ticket” button.
- A dialog will appear allowing you to review and edit the issue details (title, description, team, project, state, etc.).
- Make sure to fill out any required fields.
- Click “Create” to push it to Linear. You can go to the issue created in Linear by clicking "View in Linear" in the pop-up (this pop-up will dismiss by itself in a few seconds).
- Next to each action item you want to track, click the “Create Linear ticket” button.
- Manage Your Issues in Linear
- The new issue will appear in Linear, linked to any project that was selected.
- You can update, set priority, and assign the issue directly from Linear as needed.
Tips & Best Practices
- Edit issue details before pushing to ensure clarity and correct assignment.
- Use this feature to keep your Linear issues aligned with meeting outcomes and drive timely follow-up.
- You can create multiple Linear issues from a single meeting report.
Troubleshooting
- If you can’t click the option to create Linear tasks, ensure your integration is active and you have the necessary permissions.
- If an issue doesn’t appear in Linear, refresh Linear and check that it was associated with the correct project.
- For persistent issues, contact Read support.
