Incident report form for Linear
Declare an incident from a form and open a Linear issue on-call can run with.
When something breaks, detail evaporates in the panic. This intake captures a summary, severity, the affected services, the impact, and when it started — the facts responders need in the first minute.
Each report opens an issue in your engineering or on-call team with severity front and center, so the response matches the blast radius. Track the timeline, link the follow-ups, and keep the postmortem honest — all in Linear.

How your fields map to Linear
Each form field becomes a field. Edit the mapping anytime in the form editor.
| Form field | Linear field |
|---|---|
| Incident summary | Incident summary |
| Severity | Severity |
| Affected service(s) | Affected service |
| What's the impact? | What's the impact? |
| When did it start? | When did it start? |
The honest catch
The honest catch: issues are filed under one team, and Linear identifies it by team ID, not the human-readable key — we list your teams so you pick from a dropdown. Routing within a team (assignee, project, labels) is still done in Linear's triage, which is where it belongs.
Questions
Is the incident report → Linear integration free?
Yes. The form and the Linear connector are included free with unlimited submissions. You only pay for usage-based add-ons, never per-response.
Do I need to write any code?
No. Connect Linear, map your fields in the visual editor, and you're live. The webhook plumbing is handled for you.
Can I customize the incident report form?
Completely. Add or remove fields, change labels, add conditional logic — the Linear mapping updates alongside it.
Every submission creates a new issue in your Linear team.
Free forever. Unlimited submissions. No credit card.
