Linear Asks
allows you to capture internal requests and bring them into Linear so the appropriate team can work on them. Previously, weâve enabled intake through Slack and email.
Now weâve added custom web forms as well.
Teams can create a dedicated Asks page with forms for the types of requests they handle, like feature requests, bug reports, data pulls, or HR and IT tasks. Forms are powered by issue templates, so teams control exactly what information gets collected. Every submission becomes an issue in the teamâs triage inbox, where it can be fielded by a team member or routed with
Triage Intelligence
.
Anyone in your company can create an ask, even if they donât have a Linear account. After submitting an ask, submitters can follow up through a synced email thread on the issue.
Web forms for Linear Asks are available on the Enterprise plan. Learn more in our
documentation
