Overview

The Linear integration lets you create issues directly from security findings, coverage gaps, and other Pwnbook data — and view your team’s Linear backlog without leaving the platform.

​
How authentication works

The Linear integration uses a two-tier model: The org key handles data sync and org-initiated issue creation. When you take an action from your own account (such as moving an issue or adding a comment), Pwnbook uses your personal API key so the action appears under your identity in Linear. If no personal key is configured, write actions fall back to the org key.

​
Prerequisites

  • A Linear workspace
  • Admin or Owner access in Pwnbook (for org setup)

​
Setup

1

Create an org API key

  1. In Linear, go to Settings → API → Personal API keys (or use a service account).
  2. Click Create key, give it a name like “Pwnbook Org”, and copy the key.
2

Configure the org connection

  1. Go to Organization Settings → Marketplace → Linear.
  2. Enter the API Key.
  3. Select the default team and project for new issues.
  4. Click Save & Test.
3

Add your personal API key (optional)

  1. In Linear, go to Settings → API → Personal API keys and create a key for yourself.
  2. In Pwnbook, go to Profile → Connections and configure Linear.
  3. Paste your personal key — Pwnbook will use it for write actions attributed to you.

​
Creating issues

From any finding or risk in Pwnbook, use the Create Linear Issue action to push it to Linear with the title, description, and severity pre-filled. You can adjust the team, project, priority, and assignee before submitting.
