Connect Linear to Slack
Automate Linear and Slack with AI
Linear moves fast but people live in Slack. Operator.io runs OpenClaw against both so when an issue changes status, priority, or assignee, the agent posts a short update to the channel your squad watches. Flag a message in Slack as a bug and it creates the Linear issue with context from the thread, title, labels, and link back to the message.
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 Slack, 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 Slack 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 Slack
- How do I connect Linear and Slack to Operator?
- You authorize Linear and Slack 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 Slack?
- Tell it the job and it moves between Linear and Slack 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 Slack in sync?
- Yes. It can watch Linear and act in Slack, 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.
