# Linear
[Linear](https://linear.app/) is an issue-tracking tool that helps users to streamline software projects, sprints, tasks, and bug tracking.
Route detailed alerts from Linear to the right users in Squadcast.
### Using Linear as an Alert Source
1. Navigate to **Services** -> **Service Overview** -> select or search for your Service. Expand the accordion -> In the Alert Sources section, click **Add**.
2\. Select **Linear**. Copy the displayed **Webhook URL** to [configure](#create-a-squadcast-webhook-alert-in-linear) it within **Linear**. Finish by clicking **Add Alert Source** -> **Done.**
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important:**
When an alert source turns Active, it’ll show up under Configured Alert Sources, you can either generate a test alert from the integration or wait for a real-time alert to be generated by the Alert Source. An Alert Source is active if there is a recorded incident via that Alert Source for the Service.
{% endhint %}
### Create a Squadcast Webhook Alert in Linear
**(1)** Login to your Linear dashboard. Head over to the **Workspace** tab. Click on the **Workspace** name, then select **Workspace settings**
**(2)** Under the **Settings** menu, scroll to the **Account** section and choose **API**. Then under **Webhooks**, click on **New webhook**
**(3)** Set a **Label** for the webhook. Paste the previously copied Squadcast Webhook URL in the placeholder for **URL**. Select **Event types** and the **Teams** for which the webhook should send alerts. Then click on **Create webhook**
That's it, you are good to go! Your Linear integration is now complete. Whenever Linear fires an alert for an issue created in the integrated workspace, an incident will be created in Squadcast for it. Also, when the issue status has changed to **Done** in Linear, the corresponding incident gets **auto-resolved** in Squadcast.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://support.incidents.cloud.solarwinds.com/integrations/alert-source-integrations-native/linear.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
