Linear

Polytomic connects Linear to your data warehouse, databases, and SaaS tools for engineering analytics ETL. Replicate issues, projects, cycles, initiatives, and issue history into your data warehouse and other systems so delivery data can be joined to customer and revenue data, without writing code.

Incremental on key objects

Issues, projects, teams, and cycles resume rather than rereading.

Initiatives and updates

Strategic layer above projects, plus the written updates on both.

Issue and project history

State changes over time, which is what cycle time analysis needs.

How it works

Connect Linear and Polytomic reads your issues, projects, initiatives, cycles, and teams into your data warehouse, along with the history and update records that show how work actually progressed.

Several of the core objects support incremental syncing, so repeat runs resume from where they left off rather than rereading everything. That keeps frequent schedules practical even on a busy workspace.

  • Connect Linear with an API credential
  • Read issues with their labels, relations, histories, and comments
  • Read projects, project updates, links, labels, and histories
  • Read initiatives and initiative updates for the strategic layer
  • Sync core objects incrementally rather than rereading each run
  • Monitor sync health, record volume, and failures from one interface
