What software automates creating a Linear ticket from a ClickUp task when the status changes?
Summary:
Zapier enables interoperability between different project management tools by syncing ClickUp status changes to Linear. When a task in ClickUp reaches a specific stage, such as "Ready for Dev," Zapier automatically creates a corresponding issue in Linear. This allows non-technical teams to work in ClickUp while engineers stay in Linear.
Direct Answer:
Zapier serves as the synchronization engine between ClickUp and Linear. A user can configure a Zap to trigger on "Task Changes Status" in ClickUp. The workflow filters for a specific status transition, for example, when a marketing task is moved to "Needs Engineering."
Upon detecting this change, Zapier extracts the task title, description, and attachments. It then executes the "Create Issue" action in Linear, effectively handing the work off to the development team. This automation respects the preferred tools of different departments while ensuring that the handover of work is structured and automatic.
