Manual request capture from meetings and offline feedback
Turn a sales call, in-person meeting, or stray message into a structured request immediately, instead of waiting for the evidence to be rewritten later from memory.
Why this can grow a startup
Some of the best product evidence never arrives through a clean integration. It shows up on calls, in workshops, or in Slack threads that never get formalized. A quick manual capture path keeps those requests from evaporating. The result is a backlog that reflects the full demand picture, not just the channels with the nicest plumbing.
Company example
Linear's Customer Requests docs say teams can add requests manually from an issue, project, or customer page, including with the Ctrl+R shortcut, when the feedback came from a meeting or another channel without an integration.

When to use it
Use this when Sales, Product, Support is relevant to feedback capture, ops hygiene, customer research and you can run a bounded test with a free budget.
When not to use it
Do not use it as a substitute for customer evidence, a clear owner, or a measurable stop condition. Local platform rules and market behavior still need checking.
