The problem it solves

Getting a full picture of your team's ticket activity usually means paying for extra reporting features or building reports by hand. You just want a simple, current view of what's open, closed, and in progress.

Who it fits

Engineering managers and teams who want ticket data outside Linear for custom analysis.

How it works

  1. Runs on a schedule to pull tickets from your chosen Linear teams
  2. Splits the ticket list into individual rows
  3. Checks each ticket against what's already in the sheet
  4. Adds new tickets and updates changed ones
  5. You end up with a current Google Sheet of all ticket activity
What you get

Tickets that show up in Sheets without you touching them

You get an always up to date view of your Linear tickets inside Google Sheets for easy sharing and analysis.

What you get

An always-current Google Sheet listing every Linear ticket and its details.

What you need

A Linear account with API access and a Google Sheets account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
