Connect Linear to Plain
Automate Linear and Plain with AI
Customer threads in Plain and engineering work in Linear should stay linked when a bug needs a code fix. Your Operator agent on OpenClaw reads Plain conversations, opens or updates matching Linear issues with repro steps and priority, and syncs Linear status back to Plain when the fix deploys. Ask for escalations still open on both sides and it returns Plain tags beside linked Linear work.
It reaches both apps directly or through connectors like Composio MCP and Pipedream MCP, which handle the sign in and token refresh, so there is no Zap to build and no API keys to paste.

How it works
Tell the agent what you want to happen between Linear and Plain, for example to watch one and act in the other, or to keep the two in step. It reads what it needs from Linear, works out what to do, and runs the matching action in Plain without you mapping a single field.
You can have it run once, on a schedule, or whenever something changes. Ask it for a status any time and it reads the latest from both apps back to you in the same chat.
Common questions about Linear and Plain
- How do I connect Linear and Plain to Operator?
- You authorize Linear and Plain once each from your Operator dashboard. Operator holds both connections and refreshes the access tokens for you, so your agent keeps working across them without you signing in again.
- What can my agent do across Linear and Plain?
- Tell it the job and it moves between Linear and Plain as one task, choosing which actions to run on each side. There is nothing to map and no trigger to configure; you give instructions the way you would to a person.
- Can my agent keep Linear and Plain in sync?
- Yes. It can watch Linear and act in Plain, or keep both in step, reading from one and running the matching update in the other. This runs on demand when you ask or on a schedule you set.
- Do I need to build a workflow or write code?
- No. There is no workflow to build, no fields to map, and no API keys to paste. Operator manages both connections, and you give the agent instructions in plain language.
