How this works

Streamline your product development by automatically syncing project status and end dates from Linear to Productboard features, ensuring your roadmap stays aligned without manual updates. This workflow benefits product managers and teams using both tools, freeing up time for strategic planning rather than data entry. The key step involves mapping Linear's project details to Productboard's status and timeframe fields via targeted HTTP requests, triggered by events in Linear.

Use this workflow when Linear drives your project tracking and you need real-time reflections in Productboard for stakeholder visibility, such as during sprint planning or milestone reviews. Avoid it for one-off updates or if your teams rely on different tools like Jira, where custom integrations might be needed. Common variations include adding Slack notifications for status changes or extending to sync additional fields like priorities.
