Linear Integration # 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.

DeployHQ only needs read access to your release pipelines and write access to create releases. 2 ![Text icon](/assets/icons/text-4e556c28179c8aa2c87cbad966a3805f4b07a7d82b1a71b129247d19c3c6d5e0.svg) ### Pick a Pipeline Choose which Linear release pipeline should receive new releases — production, staging, beta, or anything else. 3 ![Check icon](/assets/icons/check-a44bf1dbe680e7b7d11c6ba4f27febd17fde07a1f0bab9f93608e0e1d9acee9b.svg) ### Ship Normally Deploy as usual.

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.
