Smoothly transition from Jira to Linear

Setup dialog for configuring Jira Link on Linear. — Automatically sync issues between Jira and Linear

A Linear issue with a linked Jira issue titled "GraphQL execution failed". — Jira issues are bi-directionally linked to Linear issues

Overview⁠

If you want to switch from Jira to Linear, this integration makes the process smoother by keeping projects up to date in Jira as you use Linear.

How it works⁠

This integration keeps Jira up to date while your company trials or transitions to Linear.

First, you'll connect specific Jira projects to Linear teams. New issues created in either service will create a synced copy in the other, with properties that sync bidirectionally. A synced comment thread in Linear will allow users to communicate back to the comment thread in Jira. For further details on the integration, please see our documentation.

Once you're ready to make the switch, use Linear's quick Jira importer to move over all your existing issues in a few minutes.

Configure⁠

A Linear admin can go to settings to enable this integration, then link Jira projects to their corresponding teams in Linear. Configuration also requires ADMINISTER permission in Jira so that Linear can install the required webhooks.

This integration is designed to work with newly created issues. For existing tickets, import those to Linear in a few minutes using our Issue Migration Assistant.
