Custom coding tool integrations Linear already supports one-click integrations to open issues in popular tools like Claude Code, Codex and Cursor. To better support custom workflows and new tools, we’ve added support for custom coding tool integrations. Custom coding tool integrations let you open issues in tools that aren’t supported out of the box. You can configure them in two ways: Launch a tool using a URL with query parameters Run a local command from the desktop app Add a new custom coding tool in preferences , or learn more in our documentation . Sync multiple Slack threads to an issue When an issue is reported in Slack, either through Asks or the Linear Agent, a synced thread is added to that issue to enable follow-up communication. Now you can sync an issue to multiple Slack threads when there are multiple reports or requests for the same issue. When the issue is completed, every synced thread receives an update with the outcome. Connect a new Slack thread to an issue by mentioning @Linear or using the “Link to existing issue” option in the Slack integration.
