Route issues to the right team
Choose a Linear team and optionally a Linear project for each connected BugSmash project.
BugSmash + LinearConnect visual feedback with Linear issues
Connect each BugSmash project to a Linear team and, optionally, a Linear project. Keep supported comments, replies, statuses, assignments, and priorities connected while product and engineering teams manage delivery in Linear.
If no Linear project is selected, issues are created in the team's default backlog. BugSmash changes may take up to six minutes to appear in Linear.
