Update Bugherd Task Status When Linear Issue Changes
Track progress in Linear, and we'll keep your Bugherd board updated automatically. No more manual status updates.
Trigger
Public Team Issue Properties Updated
Fires when properties on a *public-team* Linear issue change (status, assignee, priority, labels, etc.). For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_ISSUE_PROPERTIES_UPDATED`.
Action
Update Task
Tool to update a task in a project. use after confirming the project and task ids.
Why this helps
You update issue status in Linear, but Bugherd still shows outdated status, forcing you to update both tools or lose visibility.
- Real-time status visibility across tools
- Eliminates duplicate status updates
- Reduces oversight of work progress
- Keeps multiple boards in sync
- Saves context-switching time
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Ensure Linear and Bugherd are connected to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a Linear issue status changes, update the corresponding Bugherd task status.'
- 3Select 'Public Team Issue Properties Updated' as the trigger.
- 4Pick your notification channel.
- 5Test by moving an issue to a different status in Linear and verify Bugherd updates.
Questions about this workflow
What if Linear and Bugherd use different status names?
Tell Notis how to map them, e.g., 'In Review = Under Review, Done = Resolved.'
Does it update task assignment too?
This automation focuses on status. Create a separate automation if you want to sync assignees.
What if I'm just adding a label, not changing status?
This automation only triggers on status changes. Labels are ignored.
