Linear
Connect Pump to Linear to turn cloud cost anomalies and infrastructure reccomendations into actionable engineering work. Create and manage Linear issues directly from Pump, assign issues to teammates, and track remediation progress without leaving your cloud dashboard.
Setup time: ~1–2 minutes
Overview
Pump's Linear integration bridges cloud optimization with engineering execution. Instead of manually copying anomalies into your issue tracker, you can create and manage Linear issues directly from Pump.
Whether you're responding to a cloud cost anomaly or assigning a infrastructure recommendations, Pump keeps your engineering workflow and cloud operations synchronized.
Note: Linear is a work tracking integration. Pump does not read Linear usage or billing data.
Prerequisites
Before connecting Linear, you'll need:
Access to the Linear workspace you want to connect
Permission to authorize applications in your Linear workspace
Browser pop-ups enabled for Pump (required for OAuth authentication)
Setup Instructions
In Pump, navigate to Settings → Integrations.
Find Linear and click Connect with Linear.
Authorize Pump on the Linear OAuth consent screen.
Open any cloud cost anomaly
Click Create Linear Issue.
Select:
Team
Assignee
Issue title
Issue description
Workflow status
Click Create.
Pump immediately creates the issue in Linear and links it back to the original Pump finding. As your engineering team updates the issue, Pump automatically synchronizes the latest status.

Features
Create Linear Issues from Pump
Create a Linear issue directly from:
Cloud cost anomalies
When creating an issue, you can:
Select the appropriate Linear team
Assign the issue to any teammate
Customize the issue title
Edit the issue description before submission
Select the initial workflow status
This allows engineering teams to begin remediation immediately without manually recreating context.
Assign Findings to Team Members
Assign every anomaly to the appropriate engineer during issue creation.
Assignments remain visible inside Pump, making ownership clear across engineering, operations, and finance teams.
Live Issue Status Sync
Pump continuously synchronizes with Linear so you can monitor progress without switching tools.
As issues move through your team's workflow, Pump automatically updates the linked finding with the latest Linear status, including both default and custom workflow states.
What Pump Uses Linear For
Pump uses Linear to:
Create issues from cloud cost anomalies and infrastructure reccomendations
Prefill issue titles and descriptions with relevant context
Link every issue back to the originating Pump finding
Synchronize issue status and assignee automatically
Pump does not automatically create issues for every anomaly—you remain in control of which findings become engineering work.
Security & Access
Pump stores OAuth credentials securely using encryption at rest.
The integration only accesses the metadata required to:
Create Linear issues
Retrieve teams and workflow statuses
Keep linked issue status synchronized
To disconnect Linear:
Open Settings → Integrations → Linear in Pump.
Click Disconnect.
To completely revoke access, also remove the Pump application from your Linear workspace settings.
Supported Workflows
The Linear integration supports:
Creating issues for cloud cost anomalies
Assigning issues to teammates
Editing issue titles before creation
Editing issue descriptions before creation
Selecting the initial workflow status
Live synchronization of issue status back into Pump
FAQ
I don't see any teams when creating an issue.
Confirm you've connected the correct Linear workspace and that your account has access to at least one team.
Can I create multiple Linear issues for the same anomaly?
No. Each Pump finding can be linked to a single Linear issue.
Does disconnecting Linear revoke access completely?
Disconnecting removes the integration from Pump. To fully revoke access, also remove the Pump app from your Linear workspace settings.
