Jira + Linear Integration
Connecting Jira (project management) and Linear (productivity) reduces the gap between project management and productivity in your team's daily workflow. Jira lists it as a native integration, so setup takes minutes rather than Zapier workarounds.
Integration Status
Native integration available
Jira lists Linear as a supported integration. Set it up via Jira's integrations settings — no third-party automation platform required.
What teams use this integration for
Sync status automatically
When work progresses in Jira, reflect that change in Linear automatically — reducing manual status updates and keeping stakeholders informed without extra effort.
Centralise team notifications
Route Jira activity — new comments, assignments, and status changes — into Linear so your team stays informed in the tool they already have open.
Automate weekly reporting
Pull Jira velocity, completed tasks, and blockers into Linear for weekly team reviews, sprint retrospectives, or stakeholder updates.
Connect planning to delivery
Link Jira roadmap items to work tracked in Linear, giving stakeholders visibility from strategy to shipped — without switching between tools.
How to set it up
- Open Jira's workspace settings and navigate to the Integrations or Apps section — Jira lists 20+ native integrations.
- Search for Linear and click Connect or Install. You may need workspace owner or admin permissions in Jira — check your role under Settings → Members.
- Authorise your Linear account when prompted. Use the account that owns the resources you want to sync (not a personal account).
- Configure the integration: choose which Jira projects or spaces sync with which Linear resources, and select which events trigger notifications or updates.
- Test with a real item — create a task in Jira and verify it appears or triggers correctly in Linear before enabling for your full team.
