Why Connect Height to Linear?

Linear adds complexity: smaller integration ecosystem than Jira, with many third-party tools not offering native Linear connections

Height limitations compound the integration challenge: limited integration ecosystem compared to major project management platforms, with many connections requiring Zapier

Client engagement details in Height and time-tracking data in Linear do not align, making billing inaccurate

Manually copying data between Height and Linear wastes hours every week that could be spent on revenue-generating work

Task updates in Height are invisible to the team using Linear, leading to duplicated effort and missed deadlines

Reporting across Height and Linear requires painful manual exports and spreadsheet merges

New team members take longer to onboard because they must learn manual workarounds to keep Height and Linear aligned

Height uses a REST API while Linear uses GraphQL, requiring careful middleware to translate data formats between the two platforms

How We Help

For Professional Services and Education businesses across Australia, the disconnect between Height and Linear is a daily frustration. Our custom integration bridges your project management and project management systems, ensuring tasks and tags flow seamlessly without manual intervention. On the technical side, Height uses a REST API with API key authentication, and Linear authenticates via OAuth, which our team handles as part of the build.

Eliminate Duplicate Work Between Teams

Task updates in Height are reflected in Linear immediately. Teams using different tools stay aligned on priorities, deadlines, and assignments without manual status chasing.

Unlock Linear Value

Linear stands out because exceptionally fast interface with sub-100ms interactions makes issue management feel instant, a significant productivity gain over Jira's heavier UI. Integrating it with Height means your team gets this benefit with complete, accurate data flowing in automatically.

Eliminate Manual Data Entry

Stop copying tasks between Height and Linear by hand. Our integration syncs data automatically, saving your team 8+ hours/week.

Built-In Error Handling and Alerts

Our integrations include automatic retries, error queuing, and real-time notifications. If something fails between Height and Linear, your team knows immediately and the system self-recovers where possible.

Height to Linear Use Cases

Mirror tasks between Height and Linear
