Frequently Asked Questions about GitHub + Linear integrations

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

What is required to integrate GitHub with Linear?

To integrate GitHub with Linear, you'll need active accounts on both platforms. Our integration service must be granted the appropriate permissions on both GitHub (to manage repositories and issues) and Linear (to manage tasks and projects).

Can I automatically create a Linear task from a new GitHub issue?

Yes, you can set up a trigger so that every time a new issue is created in GitHub, our service will automatically create a corresponding task in Linear. You can customize which repository triggers this action.

Is it possible to update a GitHub issue from changes in a Linear task?

Absolutely! When you update certain fields in a Linear task, like status or assignee, our integration can automatically update the linked GitHub issue to reflect these changes.

How do I link an existing Linear task with an open GitHub issue?

You can manually link an existing Linear task with an open GitHub issue using our platform by specifying the unique identifiers for each. This ensures they are synchronized for any future updates.

Can the integration handle multiple repositories or projects at once?

Yes, our integration can be configured to handle multiple repositories and projects simultaneously. You can set rules for specific repositories or projects to trigger actions in their respective paired application.

What types of updates made in GitHub reflect back in Linear through your integration?

When you close an issue or pull request in GitHub, these changes are reflected back in Linear by updating the status of linked tasks. Similarly, comments added on issues can also be mirrored as notes on tasks.

Is there any limit to the number of tasks or issues we can sync through the integration?

Our standard integration does not impose specific limits on the number of tasks or issues you can sync between GitHub and Linear. However, be mindful of API usage limits set by both platforms.
