Vacation Tracker + Linear | Plan Your Cycles Around Who's Out

Linear + Vacation Tracker

Plan Every Cycle
Around Who's Actually In

Your team requests and approves leave in Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Google Workspace.
Connect Vacation Tracker to Linear, and approved leave appears where your team plans its work.

See Absences While You Plan

Approved leave shows up in Linear, so nobody gets a cycle's worth of issues while they're on vacation.

No More “Who's Out?” Pings

Team leads stop asking who's away next week. The answer is already in Linear.

Leave Entered Once

Leave is requested and approved once, in Vacation Tracker, and Linear gets the update automatically.

HOW IT WORKS WITH LINEAR

From Approved Leave to Your Linear Workspace

Approvals in Chat
Leads Approve Without Leaving the Conversation
Engineering and product leads get leave requests in Slack or Microsoft Teams, alongside the rest of their day.
Overlapping leave is shown before approval, so two people from the same squad aren't out at once.
Linear Updates
Absences Appear Where Work Gets Planned
When leave is approved, a Linear issue is created with the employee, the leave type, and the dates, so the whole team can see it.
Edits and cancellations send their own updates, so your planning view stays accurate.
