Frequently asked questions
What Linear access does Endless ask for?
When you connect, Endless asks Linear for read and write access. The agent sees the teams and issues your own Linear account can see.
Does it work together with GitHub?
Yes. Connect both and the agent can use them in one request, for example reading a pull request in GitHub and posting a summary on the Linear issue it fixes.
Do I need a Linear account?
Yes. Each person in the workspace connects their own Linear account, and the agent acts with that account's access. Nobody else in the workspace can use your connection.
Can a workspace admin turn Linear off?
Yes. An admin can turn a connector off for the whole workspace in the Workspace tab of the connectors settings. Members choose for themselves among the connectors left on.
Can a scheduled task use Linear?
Yes. A scheduled task can use the connectors its creator has connected, so a weekly report can read Linear the same way a chat does.
Which chat models can use Linear?
The chat model you pick in Endless gets the Linear tools, so you can switch models in a conversation and keep the connection.
