Sync Linear Project Status & Dates to Productboard Features
This workflow bridges the gap between your Linear project management and Productboard product roadmap, ensuring seamless data flow and up-to-date feature information. It's ideal for product managers and engineering leads who want to maintain a single source of truth for project status and timelines.
Key Features
- Automated Status Synchronization: Instantly map and update Linear project statuses to corresponding Productboard feature statuses.
- Dynamic Timeframe Management: Automatically adjust Productboard feature start and end dates based on Linear project target dates.
- Intelligent Update Logic: Only push updates to Productboard when status or date changes are detected, reducing unnecessary API calls.
- Real-time Stakeholder Alerts: Keep your team informed with customizable Slack notifications detailing every successful Productboard feature update.
How It Works
This workflow initiates automatically whenever a project in Linear is updated. It first captures essential project data, including its status and target end date. Next, it connects to Productboard, searching for the associated feature using a designated custom field (e.g., a Linear project URL or ID). A built-in code module intelligently translates Linear's project statuses into Productboard's feature statuses. Before committing changes, the workflow performs a crucial check: it compares the proposed new status and timeframe with the feature's current state in Productboard. If a discrepancy is found, it proceeds to update the Productboard feature's status and timeline. Finally, a comprehensive notification is dispatched to a specified Slack channel, providing immediate visibility into the update and a direct link to the affected Productboard feature.
