Sync data from PostgreSQL to Linear
Activate your PostgreSQL data by syncing it directly into Linear. With Weld's reverse ETL, you can push modelled data such as audience segments, lead scores and account metrics from your database into Linear, making it actionable for your team without manual exports or CSV uploads.

How to set up PostgreSQL to Linear in Weld.
Guided setup in 5 steps.
- Step 01
Connect your database
Add PostgreSQL as a data source in Weld with connection credentials that grant read access. Credentials are stored encrypted and never logged.
- Step 02
Define your transformation
Write a SQL query or dbt model that selects and transforms the data you want to push to Linear. This is where you build audience segments, compute lead scores, aggregate metrics, or reshape data into the structure Linear expects. You can preview results before activating.
- Step 03
Connect Linear
Authenticate Linear as a reverse ETL destination. Weld supports OAuth or API key authentication depending on the connector. Once connected, Weld automatically discovers the available objects and fields in Linear.
- Step 04
Map fields and configure sync
Map your SQL columns to Linear fields using Weld's visual mapper. Choose a sync mode: insert to create new records, update to modify existing ones, or upsert to do both. Then set a schedule from every 5 minutes to daily.
- Step 05
Activate and monitor
Enable the sync and monitor it from the Weld dashboard. Track record counts, sync duration, and error rates in real time. Configure Slack or email alerts so you're notified immediately if a sync fails or encounters data quality issues.
Why sync PostgreSQL to Linear?
Act on warehouse data.
Push enriched segments and computed attributes from PostgreSQL into Linear to power personalized outreach and targeted campaigns.
Keep Linear updated with the latest data from PostgreSQL to automate workflows and reduce manual data entry.
Operationalize analytics
Turn insights from your database into action by pushing model outputs and metrics into Linear where your team works.
What data can you sync?
From PostgreSQL to Linear.
Model the data in PostgreSQL with SQL or dbt, then map it to objects in Linear. Which objects you can write to depends on the Linear connector and your account permissions.

What to expect.
ELT vs. reverse ETL: PostgreSQL and Linear
ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) moves data from Linear into PostgreSQL for analytics. It's about centralizing data in your warehouse so analysts can query and join it with other sources.
Reverse ETL does the opposite. It takes data that's already in PostgreSQL and pushes it into Linear so operational teams can act on it. This is the approach used on this page.
Many teams use both: ELT to centralize data in the warehouse, and reverse ETL to activate that data back in business tools. Weld supports both directions between PostgreSQL and Linear.
Linear to PostgreSQL- Sync modes
- Choose between insert, update, or upsert sync modes when pushing data to Linear. Upsert is recommended to avoid duplicates.
- Rate limits
- Weld respects Linear's API rate limits and automatically throttles requests to avoid hitting quotas.
- Data freshness
- Sync frequency depends on your Weld plan. Most connectors support schedules from every 5 minutes up to daily intervals.
- Security
- All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. Weld is SOC 2 Type II compliant and supports IP whitelisting for database connections.
