ProductBrain sits above your delivery tracker. The integration is a signal channel at the job level — not a sync:
  • A new ProductBrain Job creates a Linear parent issue (the work handoff).
  • That issue reaching Done marks the job delivered — dev work complete, proof condition not yet verified. The done state stays reserved for a human (or agent) confirming the proof in the deployed product.
Nothing else crosses the seam. Goals, needs, approaches, and phases stay in ProductBrain; tickets, sprints, and cycles stay in Linear.

What you need

  • ProductBrain Builder or Team plan (API access) and an API key (Settings → API Keys)
  • A Make.com account — free tier is enough
  • A Linear personal API key (Settings → Security & access)

Setup

1

Import the blueprints

Download both blueprints from the repo: pb-to-linear and linear-to-pb. In Make: Create a new scenario → ⋯ → Import Blueprint.
2

Create the webhooks

In each imported scenario, open the first module and create a new custom webhook. Copy both URLs.
3

Fill the placeholders

Scenario A’s HTTP module: your Linear API key and team ID. Scenario B’s HTTP module: your ProductBrain API key.
4

Point ProductBrain at Make

curl -X POST "https://productbrain.com/api/v1/webhooks" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PB_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"projectId": "YOUR_PROJECT", "url": "<scenario A hook URL>", "events": ["node.added"]}'
5

Point Linear at Make

Linear → Settings → API → Webhooks → new webhook with Scenario B’s URL, resource type Issues.
6

Turn both scenarios on

Create a job in ProductBrain — a Linear issue appears. Move it to Done — the job shows delivered.

How the linkage works

The Linear issue description carries a marker line:
PB: job-12 project: my-project · do not edit this line
Scenario B parses it to find the right job. Don’t edit or delete that line.

Why delivered, not done?

A closed ticket is a claim that work is finished. A ProductBrain job is a proof condition — something observable in the deployed product. The integration records the claim (delivered); verifying the proof and marking done stays with you or your agent. That distinction is the point of the system.
