Quick Setup
- Go to linear.app/settings/api
- Under Personal API keys, click Create key
- Name it "Phyllax" and click Create
- Copy the API key (starts with
lin_api_) - In Phyllax → Integrations → Linear → Connect → paste the key
Required Credentials
| Field | Where to find it |
|---|---|
| API Key | linear.app → Settings → API → Personal API keys (lin_api_...) |
What Phyllax Monitors
| Schedule | What it checks |
|---|---|
| Issues needing action | Issues assigned to you that are in progress or need updates |
| Blocked issues | Issues you own that have unresolved blockers |
| Overdue issues | Issues assigned to you that are past their due date |
Notification Actions
When Linear finds something important, the notification card shows:
- View issue — open the issue in Linear
- Add comment — AI drafts a comment you can edit before posting
- Assign to me — assign the issue to yourself
- Escalate — flag the issue for attention
- Mark complete — move the issue to done
All action chips that involve writing (Add comment, Escalate, etc.) open the AI draft panel — AI generates a suggested response that you can edit before posting.
Troubleshooting
"Authentication failed" error
Your API key may be invalid or revoked. Go to linear.app → Settings → API and generate a new personal API key.
Can't see issues from other teams
Personal API keys have access to all teams in your Linear workspace. If issues aren't showing up, check that they're actually assigned to you (not just in a team you follow).
Issues showing as "no due date"
Linear issues without a due date set won't trigger the "Overdue issues" schedule. Make sure your team is setting due dates on issues for deadline monitoring to work.
