Auto-Create
Linear Releases
Every time DeployHQ finishes a deployment, a Linear Release lands in your chosen pipeline — already linked to the issues that shipped. Keep release planning and reality in sync.

Release Tracking by Hand
Linear release pipelines only work if someone remembers to update them after every deploy.
When release tracking depends on someone hitting "create release," it inevitably falls behind real life.
Releases on Autopilot
DeployHQ creates a Linear Release every time a deploy finishes — wired straight to the pipeline you pick.
How It Works
Pick the pipeline once and DeployHQ handles the rest.
Authorise Linear
Connect your Linear workspace via API key. DeployHQ only needs read access to your release pipelines and write access to create releases.
Pick a Pipeline
Choose which Linear release pipeline should receive new releases — production, staging, beta, or anything else.
Ship Normally
Deploy as usual. Each successful deploy lands as a fresh Linear Release with the right issues attached automatically.
Why Connect Linear
Make Linear's release tracking actually reflect what's live.
Auto-Created Releases
No more "did anyone create the release?" — DeployHQ creates one for every deploy that finishes successfully.
Issues Auto-Linked
Reference Linear issues in your commit messages — DeployHQ attaches them to the Release so PMs see exactly what shipped.
One Pipeline per Environment
Send production deploys to one pipeline and staging to another — keep environment cadence visible inside Linear.
Single API Key
One Linear API key sets up the whole integration. No OAuth juggling, no per-project setup.
Wire up Linear in minutes
Generate a Linear API Key
In Linear, open Settings → API → Personal API keys, generate a key with release-pipeline access, and copy it.
Connect to DeployHQ
In your DeployHQ project's integrations, paste the API key and pick the Linear release pipeline to write to.
Deploy and Verify
Trigger a deploy. Open Linear's release pipeline and you should see a new Release with attached issues seconds later.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Linear integration actually create?
Each successful DeployHQ deployment creates a new Release inside the Linear release pipeline you've chosen. The Release records the project, environment, commit revision, and links any Linear issues referenced in commit messages between deploys.
Can I send production and staging deploys to different pipelines?
Yes. Configure the Linear integration per server or per environment so production deploys land in your release pipeline and staging deploys land elsewhere — making Linear reflect each environment's cadence independently.
Does the integration update existing Linear issues?
DeployHQ doesn't change issue states — it attaches issues to the new Release. That keeps your team in control of issue lifecycle while still giving Linear a complete record of what shipped.
Ready to keep Linear in sync with reality?
Wire DeployHQ up to Linear and stop tracking releases by hand.
