Set up Alignear
Connect Linear, choose your plan, and sync your first team so you can start sending client-ready reports from the dashboard.
Alignear is a client communication layer for teams using Linear. This guide walks through onboarding so your team can reach the dashboard and start configuring client communication.
Prerequisites
- Linear workspace access — Someone with permission to connect third-party apps for your Linear organization must complete the workspace connection step (typically an organization admin or owner).
- Subscription — A paid plan must be active before you can finish onboarding and use the dashboard.
Onboarding flow
After you sign in, Alignear keeps you in Onboarding until setup is complete:
- Connect your Linear workspace — Approve OAuth so Alignear can read teams, issues, and related data from Linear. This happens during onboarding; there is no separate integrations page for the first connection.
- Choose your plan — Pick a tier and complete checkout so your organization is activated.
- Connect your Linear team — Pick at least one Linear team to sync into Alignear. You can add more teams later from the dashboard.
When onboarding is finished, you land on the Dashboard.
If setup breaks
Alignear sends you back into Onboarding when:
- Linear is disconnected from your organization
- Billing is not in good standing
Open Billing from the account menu at the bottom of the sidebar to resolve payment issues, then reconnect Linear if needed.
Next steps
- Add clients who should receive reports and portal access
- Configure cycle reports for automated client updates
- Set up custom reports when you need filtered views of Linear data
