Automate Asana + Linear with GAIA
Sync product management in Asana with engineering execution in Linear
Product teams often live in Asana for its project planning capabilities while engineering teams prefer Linear for its speed and developer-centric workflow. The gap between the two creates a constant synchronization problem — product managers manually copy specs into Linear issues, engineers close Linear issues but Asana still shows tasks as open, and leadership lacks a unified view of what is shipped versus what is planned.
GAIA bridges Asana and Linear so product decisions automatically flow into engineering backlogs and engineering progress automatically surfaces in product timelines. When a product manager marks an Asana task as ready for engineering, GAIA creates the corresponding Linear issue with full context. When engineers close a Linear issue, GAIA updates the Asana task status so the product roadmap stays accurate.
This integration is built for product-engineering teams who want to keep their preferred tools while eliminating the coordination overhead that comes from running two disconnected systems.
5 things you can automate
Everything GAIA can do when Asana and Linear are connected.
Create Linear issues from Asana tasks
When a product manager marks an Asana task as Ready for Engineering, GAIA automatically creates a Linear issue in the appropriate team's backlog with the task title, description, and any attached specs.
Reflect engineering progress in product timelines
When a Linear issue moves to In Progress or Done, GAIA updates the corresponding Asana task status so product managers see accurate engineering progress without needing to check Linear directly.
Sync sprint cycles to Asana milestones
GAIA maps Linear sprint timelines to Asana milestone dates, giving the product team visibility into engineering cadences and ensuring release planning reflects what engineering can realistically deliver.
Bug escalation from Linear to Asana
When a high-priority bug is filed in Linear, GAIA creates a corresponding Asana task for the product team, prompting them to assess customer impact and reprioritize the roadmap if necessary.
Blocked issue alerts across teams
When a Linear issue is blocked waiting on product decisions, GAIA creates an Asana task for the responsible product manager with context and a deadline, preventing engineering from stalling silently.
How to set it up
Connect Asana and Linear to GAIA in three steps.
- 1
Connect Asana and Linear to GAIA
Authorize GAIA to access your Asana workspace and Linear organization. Configure which Asana projects map to which Linear teams and how statuses correspond between the two systems.
- 2
Define trigger conditions and field mappings
Set the conditions that trigger syncs — such as an Asana task reaching a specific section or a Linear issue changing state — and map fields like priority, assignee, and description between platforms.
- 3
GAIA keeps product and engineering aligned
GAIA monitors both platforms continuously and propagates changes in real time, so product managers and engineers always work from a shared, accurate understanding of project status.
