Using API key

To configure this credential, you'll need:

• A personal API Key: Create a dedicated personal API key in your Settings > Security & access. Refer to the Linear Personal API keys documentation for more information.

Using OAuth2

To configure this credential, you'll need:

• A Client ID: Generated when you create a new OAuth2 application.
• A Client Secret: Generated when you create a new OAuth2 application.
• Select the Actor: The actor defines how the OAuth2 application should create issues, comments and other changes. Options include:
  • User (Linear's default): The application creates resources as the authorizing user. Use this option if you want each user to do their own authentication.
  • Application: The application creates resources as itself. Use this option if you have only one user (like an admin) authorizing the application.
• To use this credential with the Linear Trigger node, you must enable the Include Admin Scope toggle.

Refer to the Linear OAuth2 Authentication documentation for more detailed instructions and explanations. Use the n8n OAuth Redirect URL as the Redirect callback URL in your Linear OAuth2 application.
