Linear: Loops for product management

Watch video Loops are recurring agent workflows for teams. They now respond to more workspace activity, including changes to initiatives, projects, and cycles. They can also edit Linear documents and post updates to Slack. Teams change project plans all the time. It’s not the change itself that’s hard, but the follow-through: updating docs, creating issues, and keeping everyone informed. That’s where information falls out of sync and handoffs get missed. Loops can now handle that coordination for you. For example, when a project’s target date changes, a loop can automatically update the launch plan and post a Slack message explaining what changed, why, and who needs to act. Trigger from across your workspace New triggers include: Project and initiative changes to status, ownership, target dates, milestones, membership, and labels, plus new updates and comments Cycles being created, started, or completed Issue changes to status, priority, assignee, cycle, project, or labels Edit documents In addition to creating issues and updating projects and initiatives, Loops can now edit documents. When scope or timing changes, a loop can update the relevant Linear document so plans stay aligned. Share updates in Slack A loop can now also draft and post tailored Slack updates using context from Linear and connected tools. Keep the right people informed about what changed and what happens next. Continue any run Each loop run starts a conversation with Linear Agent. Once it finishes, you can continue that conversation like any other agent session to review the work, add context, or direct what happens next. Loops credits available until end of year We’ve extended introductory Loops credits through December 31, giving teams more time to test Loops on their own workflows. See the docs for more details. Callout components Use callout components to draw attention to important information in issue and project descriptions, as well as documents. Choose any color, icon, or emoji to match the context. In PR descriptions, Linear converts callouts to the closest matching GitHub callout type, so the emphasis carries over. Type /callout to get started.
