Frequently Asked Questions about Jira Software Cloud + Linear integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Jira Software Cloud and Linear
What triggers are available when integrating Jira Software Cloud with Linear?
When you integrate Jira Software Cloud with Linear, you can set up triggers such as when a new issue is created in Jira, an issue is transitioned to 'Done', or a comment is added to an issue. These triggers can then initiate actions in Linear, like creating a corresponding task or adding a comment to an existing task.
Can I create an issue in Linear from a Jira issue automatically?
Yes, you can configure the integration to automatically create an issue in Linear whenever a new issue is created in Jira. This helps keep your teams aligned by ensuring that tasks are recorded in both systems.
How do we update the status of a Linear task when a Jira ticket moves stages?
By setting up an action based on the trigger when the status of a Jira ticket changes, you can automate updates to the corresponding Linear task's status. This ensures that progress is accurately reflected across both platforms without manual intervention.
Is it possible to synchronize comments between Jira and Linear?
Yes, we support synchronizing comments between the two platforms. So whenever someone comments on a Jira ticket, it can automatically post that comment on its associated Linear task and vice versa.
What actions can be performed in Jira from Linear triggers?
With specific triggers set up in Linear—such as completing a task or changing its priority—you can perform actions like updating the corresponding ticket's priority or transitioning its state directly in Jira.
How do we handle duplicate entries across both platforms after integration?
To handle duplicates, you should establish clear trigger-action pairs and avoid overlapping automation rules that could lead to duplications. Our integration settings offer options to filter events smartly and thus minimize this risk.
Can I choose specific projects for integration between Jira and Linear rather than all projects?
Certainly! You can specify which projects should be part of the integration by selecting them within your configuration settings. This way, only designated projects will synchronize tasks and updates across the two platforms.
