FAQ

Do Harvest projects/tasks and Linear projects/issues sync?

No, you’ll have to manually set up projects and tasks/issues in both Harvest and Linear. You can check out the third-party app Zapier to automate this.

Do I have to select the Harvest project and task every time I track from a Linear issue?

No. Once you track time to an issue in Linear, Harvest will remember the project and task that you tracked time to previously when starting a new timer from that same issue.

Does the Harvest integration work with the Linear desktop app?

The Linear integration is not currently supported in the desktop app. To use the Linear integration, you'll need to install and track from a web browser using a browser extension.
