FAQ
Frequently asked questions and answers about the ZEP Linear integration.
Who is the Linear integration with ZEP suitable for?
The integration is suitable for IT and product teams that use ZEP for project time tracking and project controlling and Linear as their operational issue tracking tool. Teams that maintain projects and tickets centrally in ZEP and want to make this information automatically available in Linear — without manual synchronization between both systems — benefit particularly from this.
What is Linear and which teams is it suited for?
Linear is a modern project management and issue tracking tool that is particularly popular with software and product teams. It offers a fast, keyboard-driven interface for managing issues, projects and sprints. The ZEP integration allows teams to maintain the project structure in ZEP while using Linear as their operational working tool.
Are status changes in ZEP automatically updated in Linear?
Yes. Changes to tickets in ZEP are automatically transferred to Linear. Using the status mapping, you define in advance which ZEP status corresponds to which Linear status. This keeps both systems consistent without having to manually update status changes.
How does the Linear integration differ from the Jira integration in ZEP?
The direction of data flow is the key difference. With the Jira integration, Jira is the leading system — structures flow from Jira to ZEP. With the Linear integration, ZEP is the leading system — projects and tickets flow from ZEP to Linear. Linear serves as a complementary tool for teams that manage their project structure in ZEP while also working in Linear.
What data is transferred from ZEP to Linear?
The ZEP Linear integration transfers projects with name and short code as well as ticket information from ZEP to Linear. Changes to tickets in ZEP are automatically forwarded to Linear. Using a configurable status mapping, you define which ZEP statuses correspond to which Linear statuses.
