The Scenario
An engineering director at a 50-person company just got a request from the security team: a full export of who is on which Linear team, with names and emails, by end of this week. It's an access review. The compliance deadline is real. Linear's workspace settings page shows team memberships, but navigating it manually across 8 teams and 50-something engineers — copying names and emails into a spreadsheet row by row — is a morning's worth of work nobody budgeted for.
The bad version:
- Open Linear settings, navigate to Teams, click the first team, view the members list, copy each name and email into the sheet manually.
- Navigate back, click the second team, repeat.
- Eight teams. Some engineers are on multiple teams, so you're not sure whether to list them once or once per team membership. You decide to list per membership, but now you've introduced duplicate rows that need to be handled in the sheet.
The director does not have a morning to spend on this. The audit is the priority. The data collection was supposed to take 10 minutes.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It queries Linear's workspace for the full team membership list and writes it into the sheet — one row per membership, with names, emails, and team information.
For each team in the Linear workspace list the team name, team ID, and all member names and emails into separate rows in this sheet
What You Get
- One row per team-member pairing — so engineers on multiple teams appear multiple times, each row showing the team context.
- Columns for team name, team ID, member name, and member email.
- Active and inactive members distinguished if Linear surfaces that information.
- A sheet that's immediately filterable for the compliance team.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
The auditor wants one row per user, with all teams listed in one cell
Instead of one row per membership, they want a summary view.
List all Linear users in the workspace into this sheet with their name, email, and active status — in a fourth column, list all the team names they belong to separated by commas
You need to cross-reference this list against your HR system
The HR sheet has a column of email addresses. You want to find any Linear users not in the HR list.
List all Linear users in the workspace with their name and email into this sheet, then add a column C that says "in HR list" if their email appears in column A of the sheet named HR-Export, and "not found" if it does not
The audit requires admin status flagged
You need to know which users have admin permissions, not just membership.
For each team in the Linear workspace, list all members with their name, email, team name, and role (member vs. admin) in this sheet
Full access audit with writeback and anomaly flags
Pull the full membership, flag anomalies, and produce an audit-ready output.
List all Linear users in the workspace with their name, email, active status, and all team memberships — in a final column, flag "inactive user with team membership" for any user whose active status is false but who still belongs to a team
The compliance team gets a dataset with the anomalies already surfaced.
