Frequently Asked Questions about Google Sheets + Linear integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Google Sheets and Linear

How do I set up a trigger in Google Sheets to create an issue in Linear?

To set up a trigger in Google Sheets that creates an issue in Linear, you need to use our automation tool. First, you'll need to create a new automation and select Google Sheets as the trigger app. Then choose the specific event in Google Sheets, such as 'New Row' or 'Updated Row', to trigger the action. Once the trigger is set, select Linear as the action app and choose 'Create Issue' as the desired action. You’ll be prompted to map fields from your Sheet to the new issue in Linear.

Can I update an existing issue in Linear when a Google Sheet row is updated?

Yes, you can update an existing issue in Linear when a row is updated in Google Sheets. After connecting both apps through our platform, you'll select Google Sheets as your trigger app with 'Update Row' as your event. For actions, you'll choose Linear and specify 'Update Issue'. You'll also need to configure how rows map to issues for the system to know exactly what data should update.

What types of data can be transferred from Google Sheets to Linear?

When integrating through our platform, most types of data including text fields, checkboxes for statuses, numerical values, and dates can be transferred from Google Sheets into corresponding fields in Linear issues. Custom fields may require additional configuration.

Is it possible to automatically close an issue in Linear from changes made in Google Sheets?

Yes, it is possible to automatically close an issue in Linear based on triggers set up within Google Sheets. For instance, if a cell value changes indicating task completion (e.g., status column marked as 'Done'), you can configure an action that sets the corresponding task status to closed on Linear.

How frequently does data sync between Google Sheets and Linear occur?

Data synchronization frequency depends on how you have configured your triggers and actions with our system. Generally, once you've set up your integration correctly with triggers like 'New Entry' or 'Row Update', changes are automated and typically sync almost instantly though there may be slight delays depending on API limitations.

Do I need coding skills to integrate Google Sheets with Linear using our tools?

No coding skills are required! Our platform offers a no-code interface where you simply select triggers and actions through intuitive menus for both apps—Google Sheet and Linear—configuring them according to your workflow without writing any code.

What should I do if my integration between Google Sheets and Linear is not working smoothly?

If your integration isn't functioning smoothly, we recommend checking whether all app connections are properly authenticated firstly. Next steps involve ensuring all your trigger conditions and action mappings are correctly configured and reflect any recent changes made within either application settings or table structures
