Engineering: service-centric knowledge, one click away
Unify links to docs, RFCs, repos, dashboards, runbooks, and vendor docs—organized by service, team, and severity. Publish onboarding portals. Enforce SSO/SAML and audit at scale.
TL;DR: Create workspaces per platform/product → tag by service, team, type, severity → import canonical links → publish onboarding & on-call portals → enforce SSO/SAML & review audit logs.
Common pain points
- Runbooks, dashboards, and on-call links scattered across tools.
- New hires spend weeks collecting “tribal” links.
- Incidents slowed by stale or missing references.
- Vendor & cloud docs siloed by team; hard to find quickly.
How Linkinize helps
- Service-first tags for repos, dashboards, runbooks, on-call pages, RFCS, and postmortems.
- Workspace isolation for Platform vs. Product teams.
- Public onboarding pages (read-only) for faster ramp-up.
- SSO/SAML + audit to meet governance requirements.
How it works (5 steps)
- Create a Platform workspace plus product workspaces (e.g., Payments, Search).
- Define tags (see template below):
service:*,team:*,type:runbook|dashboard|rfc|postmortem,severity:sev-1..sev-3,status:approved|draft. - Import canonical links to docs, repos, SLO dashboards, on-call calendars, and vendor docs. Add owners & descriptions.
- Publish a Public Page for onboarding & on-call. Keep sensitive links private.
- Enforce SSO/SAML, assign roles/permissions, review audit logs monthly.
Integrations you’ll likely use
Link to the single source of truth—Linkinize makes retrieval instant while permissions remain enforced at the source.
- Docs/Wikis: Notion, Confluence, Google Docs
- Code/CI: GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket
- Dashboards: Grafana, Kibana, Datadog, New Relic, Looker/Tableau
- Incidents/On-call: PagerDuty, Opsgenie, Statuspage
- Project: Jira, Linear
- Cloud/Vendor: AWS, GCP, Azure, Snowflake docs

Common questions & objections
“Isn’t this just Notion?”
Notion is great for docs and specs. Linkinize is a fast, governed index for links across tools. Many teams use both — see the differences.

“We already use a tab manager.”
Tab tools tame today’s tabs. Linkinize centralizes long-term, team-wide links with search, roles, and public pages — how they complement each other.

“Another tool to maintain?”
Linkinize points to your existing systems. Store canonical URLs; permissions stay enforced at the source.

“Security/compliance?”
Enforce SSO/SAML, least-privilege roles, and audit logging. Keep secrets in their original systems; save links only. Learn more: Security.

Bring order to your links
Engineering teams use Linkinize to speed incidents, onboarding, and day-to-day retrieval—without moving content out of the tools they already trust.
- • One hub for service links (repos, dashboards, runbooks)
- • Public onboarding pages per team/service
- • SSO/SAML, roles, and audit logs
- • Works alongside Notion/Confluence, GitHub, Jira
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do we import files into Linkinize?
- No—store links to your canonical files (Drive/SharePoint/Notion). Linkinize is the fast retrieval and sharing layer.
- How do we maintain “one true” version?
- Point to canonical docs and use
status:approved. Archive deprecated links and add owners for accountability. - Keyboard workflows?
- Yes—quick add, tag presets, and fast search minimize context switching.
