AI Summary by Fellow
Does this scenario sound familiar? You wrap up a project check-in meeting with a clear list of action items. But immediately after the call, you, or your project manager, have to spend valuable time manually copy-pasting those notes into Linear.
When you are running from meeting to meeting, you simply don't have the time to manually send things into Linear from your meeting notes. This manual friction creates a "broken telephone" effect where context is lost, data becomes redundant, and tasks are forgotten.
To maintain high-velocity execution, you need a bridge that turns meeting decisions into tracked work instantly. Fellow’s integration with Linear is that bridge.
What is Fellow's Linear integration?
Fellow’s Linear integration is a native, bilateral sync designed to connect your AI meeting notes and action items with Linear’s project management platform.
Unlike static exports, this integration functions bilaterally. This means the connection is alive: when items are pushed to Linear and subsequently checked off by an engineer or product manager, they are automatically marked as complete in Fellow, and vice versa.
Key capabilities
Per-user customization: The integration operates on a per-user basis, allowing individual team members to connect to the specific Linear teams and projects relevant to their work.
Action item management: Users can push AI-detected action items or manually created tasks from Fellow directly to Linear.
Bi-directional status sync: Completion status is reflected across both platforms instantly, ensuring a single source of truth.
How to connect Fellow + Linear
Setting up the integration is designed to be simple so you can start streamlining workflows immediately.
Access settings: Navigate to Fellow → User Settings → Apps and Integrations.
Connect: Scroll to the Linear integration and click "Connect".
Authenticate: Complete the standard Linear authentication process.
Configure: Select exactly which Linear teams and projects you want to sync with your Fellow account.
Sync mechanics
Granular control: You can link action items to Linear by selecting the specific team and project, ensuring the task lands in the correct area of your organizational structure.
Import capabilities: Beyond pushing tasks out, you can also import existing Linear issues into Fellow to discuss them during meetings.
Task details: You can set due dates and assignees within Fellow that carry over to the Linear issue.
Why Linear users love the Fellow integration
Product, Project, and Ops leaders are using this integration to centralize decision-making and reduce administrative overhead. Here is why they are prioritizing this connection:
1. Eliminating redundancy and manual work
Copying lists is a waste of high-value energy. As a Fellow customer explains, "we could use our energy for other things versus making the list that we just talked about."
2. Stopping the "broken telephone" effect
Complex workflows often involve multiple tools, which degrades data quality. Another Fellow customer noted his goal was to "eliminate 'broken telephone' and streamline the process," stating, "I figured there must be a more streamlined way of doing this."
3. Centralizing decision-making
When tasks live in silos, decision-making slows down. A Fellow user emphasizes the need for a central source of truth: "When we are looking at decision making on a task, whether we are going to do it or not, we centralize all that information."
Best practices to implement Fellow + Linear in your organization
To get the most out of this integration, we recommend the following deployment strategies based on successful customer use cases:
Start with the Desktop App: For the most robust experience, use the desktop version of Fellow. It enables better integration functionality and bot-free recording.
Automate recurring meetings: You don't need to push tasks manually every time. For recurring syncs, go to settings and ensure any action items generated in that specific meeting series are automatically pushed to Linear for your team.
Leverage Fellow's API for custom workflows: If your organization has specific data endpoints or unique needs, use Fellow's API to build a more custom integration, such as accessing action items within notes.
Organize by team structure: Take advantage of the granular control. Ensure users select the correct team and project when pushing issues so that tasks immediately enter the correct workflow in Linear rather than a general inbox.
Your meetings should drive progress, not generate administrative debt. By connecting Fellow and Linear, you ensure that every decision made in a meeting is immediately actionable and trackable. This builds trust in your data and frees your team to focus on execution rather than organization.
