01
Create the webhook
Open ActivitySmith webhooks, choose Linear, then select Push Notifications.
Route Linear project events to your team's iPhones
Linear notifies you about what you're assigned to. ActivitySmith routes Linear webhooks to shared team channels — by priority, project, or label — so the right people get the signal, whether or not they're in Linear. Send events as Push Notifications for fast, actionable alerts.

Use provider payload fields to keep each iOS update specific, routeable, and tied to the workflow event that caused it.
Linear events ActivitySmith can route
- Issue events filtered by priority or label and routed to the team channel that owns them — not just the assignee.
- Cycle start and close events delivered to a shared channel so sprint boundaries are visible team-wide.
- Project update and milestone events for stakeholders who don't have a Linear account.
- Issue identifiers, titles, assignees, priorities, and labels available as payload fields for custom notification messages.
- Channels for routing different event types to different teams or individuals.
- Action buttons to open the issue, trigger a webhook, or route a follow-up without unlocking your phone.
Set it up from the webhook settings
Create the ActivitySmith endpoint first, paste it into Linear, then choose what appears on your device from the incoming payload fields.
02
Paste the URL into Linear
Copy the generated ActivitySmith URL into Linear webhook settings and subscribe to the events you want to route.
03
Map fields and pick a channel
Choose which Linear payload fields appear in the notification title and body, then assign it to the team channel that should receive it.
What Linear's notifications don't cover
Linear notifies you about issues you're assigned to or following. ActivitySmith routes events to the right team - by priority, project, or label - regardless of who's involved in Linear.
P1 issues to the on-call channel
Route any high-priority issue created in your workspace to #on-call or #engineering — regardless of who it's assigned to. No one misses a P1 because they weren't following the issue.
Cycle events for the whole team
Send cycle start and close events to a shared channel so everyone knows sprint boundaries without checking Linear or waiting for a standup.
Visibility for non-Linear users
Managers, founders, or adjacent teams who don't live in Linear still get the signal. Route project milestones and status changes to anyone with ActivitySmith — no Linear account required.
