Overview

This article explains how to integrate Linear with Kawach to enable continuous visibility into your linear account for compliance monitoring. Once connected, Kawach can monitor Linear data in read-only mode and surface relevant findings as part of your compliance workflows.

Prerequisites

Before starting the integration, ensure the following:

  • You have an active Linear workspace.
  • You have access to a Linear account with read access to the workspace.
  • A workspace admin is available to approve third-party access, based on your organization’s settings.
  • You have access to your organization’s Kawach account with permissions to manage integrations.
  • You know which Linear workspace you want Kawach to monitor.

What Kawach Accesses

Kawach connects to Linear in read-only mode. It does not modify any projects, issues, users, or configuration in your Linear workspace.

Once connected, Kawach can:

  • Read workspace and project information
  • Read user actions and ownership signals to support accountability and audit readiness

Steps to Integrate Linear with Kawach

Step 1: Navigate to Integrations in Kawach

  1. Log in to your Kawach account.
  2. Go to Settings.
  3. Select the Integrations tab. Kawach Integrations
  4. Click on Create.
  5. Locate Linear from the list of available integrations.
  6. Click Connect. Connect Linear

Step 2: Authorize Kawach in Linear

  1. You will be redirected to the Linear sign-in page. Linear Redirect
  2. Click on the Authorize button.
  3. It will redirect to the integration page of Kawach and your Linear account is successfully integrated with Kawach. Install and Authorize
Note: A workspace admin may need to approve access depending on your organization’s Linear settings.

After the Integration

Once the integration is complete:

  • Linear projects and issues are continuously monitored within Kawach.
  • Relevant findings can be surfaced as part of compliance and governance workflows.
  • Teams get centralized visibility into issue tracking and ownership without switching tools.
  • This setup supports ongoing compliance by ensuring project and issue evidence is consistently available.

Troubleshooting

  • Authorization failed

    Ensure you are logged into the correct Linear workspace and have sufficient permissions to authorize third-party applications.

  • Projects or issues not visible

    Check whether the selected workspace contains the projects and issues you expect Kawach to monitor.

  • Data not syncing

    Allow a few minutes after setup. If issues persist, try reconnecting the integration.
