Automate Linear + Asana with GAIA
Bridge engineering issues with cross-team project management automatically
Engineering teams live in Linear while product managers, designers, and cross-functional partners live in Asana. Both tools serve their users well, but when the two teams need to collaborate on the same deliverable, the gap between them creates friction. Engineers mark an issue complete in Linear while the Asana task still shows in-progress. Product managers ask for status updates that engineers already posted in Linear. The result is duplicate work and a constant back-and-forth to keep everyone aligned.
GAIA connects Linear and Asana so that work done in one tool is reflected automatically in the other. When an engineer picks up a Linear issue, the linked Asana task updates. When a product manager changes a priority in Asana, GAIA flags the relevant Linear issue so engineers can reorder their queue. The two tools stay synchronized without anyone manually copying updates between them.
This integration is especially valuable for product engineering teams running agile sprints in Linear who need to surface progress to stakeholders managing roadmaps in Asana, and for companies that standardized on Asana org-wide but gave engineering autonomy to use Linear for day-to-day issue tracking.
5 things you can automate
Everything GAIA can do when Linear and Asana are connected.
Mirror Linear issue status to Asana tasks
When a Linear issue moves from In Progress to Done, GAIA automatically marks the corresponding Asana task complete, so cross-functional stakeholders always see current engineering status without asking for updates.
Create Linear issues from Asana feature tasks
When a product manager marks an Asana feature task as Ready for Engineering, GAIA creates the corresponding Linear issue with title, description, and priority already populated so engineers can pick it up immediately.
Sync sprint milestones to Asana project timelines
GAIA maps Linear cycle start and end dates to Asana project milestones, keeping the product roadmap in Asana aligned with what engineering is actually building each sprint.
Escalate blocked Linear issues to Asana
When a Linear issue sits in Blocked status for more than a configurable threshold, GAIA creates an Asana task assigned to the relevant dependency owner so cross-team blockers get resolved without falling through the cracks.
Weekly engineering summary to Asana project updates
Each Friday, GAIA compiles a summary of Linear issues completed, in progress, and blocked during the week and posts it as an Asana project status update so stakeholders have a clean record without engineers writing status reports manually.
How to set it up
Connect Linear and Asana to GAIA in three steps.
- 1
Connect both workspaces
Authorize GAIA to access your Linear workspace and your Asana organization. GAIA maps Linear teams to Asana projects based on naming conventions or explicit configuration so syncing targets the right destinations.
- 2
Define sync rules
Tell GAIA which Linear issue states map to which Asana task statuses, which fields should flow in which direction, and how often bidirectional reconciliation should run. GAIA handles deduplication automatically.
- 3
Let GAIA keep both tools current
GAIA monitors both platforms for changes and propagates updates in real time. Engineers keep working in Linear and stakeholders keep working in Asana — GAIA ensures both sides always reflect the same ground truth.
