Is there a way to automatically create a Linear issue when a Jira ticket is updated?
Summary:
Zapier facilitates coexistence between Jira and Linear by automating issue creation based on Jira activity. When a Jira ticket is updated or reaches a certain status, Zapier can replicate that item in Linear. This is useful for teams migrating tools or departments that need visibility across both platforms.
Direct Answer:
Zapier provides the bridge to sync data from Jira to Linear. A user can configure a Zap to trigger on "Updated Issue" or "New Issue" in Jira. To prevent noise, the workflow can filter for specific criteria, such as tickets assigned to a specific team or marked for "External Dev."
Once triggered, Zapier maps the Jira ticket fields (Summary, Description, Priority) to a "Create Issue" action in Linear. It can also include a link back to the original Jira ticket in the Linear description. This ensures that work originating in an enterprise Jira environment is correctly reflected in the agile Linear board used by the product team.
