Notifications

With email notifications, anyone can subscribe to stay up to date on new comments

Manual subscription

Anyone with access to your board can subscribe to issues and receive notifications when a comment is made from within Linear. Users must be logged in to ensure their email address is correct.

Subscribe to an issue

Automatic subscription

When a logged in user comments on an issue, they will be automatically subscribed to updates. This helps to minimize the risk of unnoticed comments from within Linear. Users can always unsubscribe by clicking the bell icon on the issue card.

Email notifications

Notifications are sent via email, immediately after a comment is placed. The email notifications contain your entire comment and a link to the project board.

Notification triggers

For now, notifications are triggered when someone from within Linear comments on an issue that a user is subscribed to.

More notification types will be added in the future.

Manage notifications

You can view who subscribed to your board or issues on your board by going to your dashboard > Boards > "Edit board" > "Notifications".

Unsubscribe a user

Click the unsubscribe button to remove all subscriptions for this user on this board.

Unsubscribe everyone

When you unsubscribe everyone, all users will have both issue-specific and board notifications removed. If a user is subscribed to issues on the same project through another board, they will still receive those notifications.
