Migrate from Linear to SprintFlint

Connect Linear and keep both boards in sync. Two-way sync by default: SprintFlint pulls from Linear, then pushes changes back. Status, story points, descriptions, and comments stay aligned.

Linear is gorgeous. It’s also general-purpose, designed for any product team, not specifically for engineering sprints. If you want native velocity, burndown, retros, and capacity without bolt-on dashboards, SprintFlint sits next to Linear, or replaces it, without a one-way export.

SprintFlint has a first-party Linear integration: connect your workspace, pick the Linear project, and tickets stay in sync. Status maps both ways. Story points come from Linear’s estimate field. Assignees match by email on pull.

Steps

  1. 1 Sign up for SprintFlint

    Create a free account at sprintflint.com/magic-link/new. 300 free tickets, no credit card.

  2. 2 Connect Linear

    From the dashboard, Settings → Integrations → Linear → Connect. Two-way sync is on by default (pull, then push). The OAuth flow is one click.

  3. 3 Pick a Linear project

    On the empty sprint screen, click Import from Linear. Pick the Linear project you want to sync. SprintFlint pulls that project’s tickets, then pushes SprintFlint changes back.

  4. 4 Check story points, status, and assignees

    Story points (Linear’s estimate field) land as story_points. Status maps both ways. Assignees match by email. If there’s no matching SprintFlint user, the ticket stays unassigned and we leave a system comment. Assignee changes in SprintFlint do not write back to Linear. Comments pull on create and update. Descriptions come across from Linear.

  5. 5 Keep Linear in the loop, or don't

    Sync is two-way, so you can run a sprint in both tools or move the team across. Nothing here is a one-way export.
