​

Step 2: Configure Linear Integration

1. Access Integration Settings
   • Navigate to Settings > Integrations
   • Locate Linear section
2. Configure Workspace
   • Click Configure button
   • Enter your workspace name and click Connect
     • If no integration exists, you’ll be prompted to enter additional credentials required for the workspace integration:
       • Webhook Secret: The webhook secret from Step 3 above
       • Service Account Email: The service account email from Step 1 above
       • Service Account API Key: The API key from Step 2 above
       • Ensure Active toggle is enabled

3. Complete OAuth Flow

   • Grant the necessary permissions to verify your workspace access. If you have access to multiple workspaces, select the correct one that you initially provided
   • If successful, you will be redirected back to the Integrations settings in the OpenHands Cloud UI

​

Managing Your Integration

• Click the Edit button next to your configured platform
• Update any necessary credentials or settings
• Click Update to apply changes
• You will need to repeat the OAuth flow as before
• Important: Only the original user who created the integration can see the edit view

• In the edit view, click Unlink next to the workspace name
• This will deactivate your workspace link
• Important: If the original user who configured the integration chooses to unlink their integration, any users currently linked to that integration will also be unlinked, and the workspace integration will be deactivated. The integration can only be reactivated by the original user.
