Capture every submitted issue field and description
Map all available GitLab issue titles, descriptions, and metadata into Linear fields instead of basic summaries. Ensure your sprint backlog contains complete technical context.
🔔
Tell the right team member as soon as it happens
Notify developers and project owners instantly when new GitLab issues or merge requests are created. Eliminate communication delays between code reviews and sprint planning.
🔀
Route tasks differently based on issue labels

🔄
Keep project destinations up to date as things change
Automatically update Linear task statuses when corresponding GitLab project issues are updated or modified during development cycles.
🛡️
Add or update items instead of creating duplicates
Search existing Linear issues before creating new ones to prevent duplicate tasks when multiple GitLab updates occur on the same project.

📈
Engineering Managers
You're tracking development velocity across repositories but your planning boards only update when someone manually moves items, so the metrics you're reviewing are always outdated — with this integration, every GitLab issue syncs to Linear instantly and your team metrics stay accurate.
🚀
Software Developers
You need to focus on writing code but waste time manually creating tracking tickets for new issues, slowing down your deployment cycle — with this integration, every GitLab event creates a Linear task automatically and your workflow stays uninterrupted.
🤝
Product Owners
You answer to stakeholders who want real-time progress reports, but tracking code changes against sprint boards requires constant manual checking — with this integration, every repository update syncs directly to your project roadmap and stakeholders see current statuses.
⚡
DevOps Engineers
The volume of pull requests and issues is too high for anyone to keep up by hand, leading to untracked tasks and missed bug reports — with this integration, every GitLab commit and issue maps to Linear automatically and nothing slips through.
📋
QA Testers
You depend on developers to log testing tickets after code reviews, but important bug reports get lost in transition between repositories — with this integration, every merged request and issue creates a trackable item instantly.
🗂️
Release Coordinators
You need a reliable audit history of every development task but keep finding gaps between code commits and issue trackers — with this integration, every repository event creates a verified project record.
