What Qualio reads from Linear

Qualio reads the issues in the Linear team you choose: title, description, identifier, state, priority, assignee, labels, parent, team, relations, URL, and created and updated dates. You filter on any of them and map them to Qualio fields. Each element keeps its Linear identifier and a link back to Linear.

Connect Linear in three steps

  • Create a Linear API key, ideally from a service user, with access to the teams Qualio should read.
  • Paste it into Qualio under Settings > Integrations & Imports.
  • Pick the team, where its issues land in Qualio, and your filters and field mappings. Save, and Qualio reads at once, then every hour.

What you get

Linear issues become design controls

Sync issues to user needs, design inputs and design outputs. Qualio links each test to its requirement and each risk to the element it controls. Before the review, an amber mark shows any requirement with no test.

Your engineers stay in Linear, and the design controls keep up

Each change to an issue reaches its element on the next read. The element carries Qualio's own control status, and shows the Linear state beside it only if you map it as a field.

Approve the design review and the documentation generates itself

Approvers sign electronically. On approval Qualio generates the trace matrix, risk file, specifications and test plans, then exports them with test evidence and change history.

A bug or support issue becomes a quality event

Point a connection at a Linear team with a filter on label, state or priority. Qualio raises each matching issue as an event, such as a complaint or CAPA, with the issue linked. Engineering keeps the issue and quality gets the event.

Issues you can reference across Qualio

Send issues to a Resource Library category, so documents, events and design controls can point to them.

Where it stops

Comments and attachments stay in Linear. Qualio reads the issue and its fields and writes nothing to Linear.

Use a service user for the key

Linear attributes everything an API key does to the person who created it. A key from a service user keeps the connection running when someone leaves, and limits Qualio to the teams that user can see.

If the key is revoked

If the key is revoked, Qualio marks the connection Disconnected at once and pauses reads, with a banner on the Integrations page until an admin reconnects.

Delete an issue

Delete an issue and its element is marked deleted within about six hours; removing it from the design controls is an approval in Qualio.
