Integration · Linear

Compliance signal on issues, where product work gets planned.

Linear is where features get scoped and described. Lawcel reads that signal early - before code lands - so compliance review can start when intent is clearest.

What Lawcel does with Linear

OAuth workspace connection

Connect your Linear workspace from the Lawcel dashboard. Disconnect cleanly removes webhooks without leaving orphaned subscriptions.

Issue create and update webhooks

Lawcel listens for new issues and substantive edits, then extracts title and description content for classification against your legal profile.

Debounced edit handling

Rapid issue edits are debounced so analysis runs once the description stabilizes - not on every keystroke save from your team.

Substantiveness check

Minor metadata-only updates are filtered out. Analysis focuses on changes that plausibly affect product behavior or data handling.

Optional bot comments

When enabled (Starter plan and above), Lawcel can post classification summaries on the issue. Toggle each platform under Settings → Bot comments.

Cases linked to issues

Material impact opens a Lawcel case tied to the Linear issue - with taxonomy tags, impacted documents, and suggested patches for legal review.

How it works

From Linear issue to compliance case

Product and engineering describe work in Linear before or alongside development. Lawcel treats those descriptions as first-class compliance signals.

When a ticket change indicates material legal impact, a case opens with context your legal team can review without reconstructing the ticket thread.

Connect your workspace

Authorize Linear from Lawcel connections. Connection status shows last webhook received so you know the pipe is live.

Classify ticket content

Each substantive update gets taxonomy tags, a 0-10 risk score, and a list of potentially impacted legal documents.

Comment or case

Lightweight feedback can stay on the issue via bot comments. Material impact escalates to a structured case inside Lawcel.

Edits are debounced and filtered for substantiveness. Trivial metadata changes typically do not trigger a full re-analysis.
