Question 1

Can GitHub issues sync into Linear automatically?

Accepted Answer

Yes. NoClick can poll GitHub for new issues and pass each one to the Linear node, which mutates Linear through its GraphQL-based interface to create a matching issue in your team's workspace.

Question 2

How do I update Linear when a GitHub PR merges?

Accepted Answer

Watch for merged pull requests with GitHub's list-pull-requests operation, then have the Linear node post a comment or status update on the issue referenced in the PR title or branch name.

Question 3

Can I map GitHub labels to Linear priorities?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Read the labels from a GitHub issue, translate them in a function step, and pass the result into Linear so a "bug" or "urgent" label becomes the matching Linear priority.

Question 4

How does the workflow avoid duplicate Linear issues?

Accepted Answer

Track which GitHub issue identifiers have already been processed, or include the GitHub issue number in the Linear issue so the workflow can check before creating another one.

Question 5

Can a GitHub release update multiple Linear issues at once?

Accepted Answer

Use GitHub's release-notes generation to list the issues included in a release, then loop over them so the Linear node comments on or closes each related issue in a single run.
