Automate Linear Project Status and Timeline Sync to Productboard Features
detail.loadingPreview
Automate the synchronization of Linear project statuses and target dates to Productboard features. Keep your product roadmap in Productboard consistently updated with real-time progress from Linear, ensuring all stakeholders have access to the latest information without manual effort.
About This Workflow
This powerful n8n workflow bridges the gap between your engineering team's project management in Linear and your product roadmap in Productboard. Designed for product managers, engineering leads, and operations teams, it automatically updates Productboard feature statuses and timeframes whenever a Linear project progresses or its target date changes. Say goodbye to manual data entry and outdated roadmaps. By ensuring your Productboard reflects the true status and timeline of development, this workflow fosters transparency, improves decision-making, and keeps everyone aligned on product delivery.
Key Features
- Real-time Status Sync: Automatically map and update Linear project statuses (e.g., "In Progress," "Completed") to corresponding Productboard feature statuses ("In progress," "Released").
- Dynamic Timeframe Management: Sync Linear project target dates directly to Productboard feature timeframes, automatically setting monthly granularity, start, and end dates based on the Linear data.
- Intelligent Feature Matching: Identifies the correct Productboard feature by matching a Linear project URL stored in a custom Productboard field.
- Customizable Status Mapping: Easily modify the JavaScript code node to tailor how Linear statuses translate to your specific Productboard status definitions.
- Automated Data Extraction: Efficiently extracts project URLs, IDs, statuses, and dates directly from incoming Linear data.
How To Use
- Set up Productboard Credentials: Create an "HTTP Header Auth" credential in n8n for Productboard API access. Make sure it has the necessary permissions to read and update features.
- Configure Linear Webhook: Set up a webhook in Linear to trigger this workflow whenever a project's status or target date is updated. The webhook should send project details, including the project URL, status, and target date.
- Specify Productboard Custom Field: In the "get productboard feature id" HTTP Request node, replace
<productboard_customfield_uuid>with the actual UUID of the custom field in Productboard that you use to store the Linear project URL or ID for matching purposes. - Review Status Mapping: Open the "mapping" Code node and verify that the
switchstatement correctly translates your Linear project statuses to your desired Productboard feature statuses. Adjust thecaseandproductboardStatusvalues as needed to match your workflow. - Test the Workflow: Run the workflow manually with sample data or trigger it via a Linear project update to ensure statuses and timeframes are correctly synchronized to Productboard.
