Connect GitHub to Linear
Automate GitHub and Linear with AI
When a pull request lands in GitHub, the linked Linear issue should move without someone copy pasting the URL. Operator.io connects both through OpenClaw so your agent opens or updates a Linear ticket from a PR, keeps state in step when reviews finish, and can file a bug from a failing check with the right labels and project. Ask what is blocking a branch and it reads GitHub and Linear together.
It reaches both apps directly or through connectors like Composio MCP and Pipedream MCP, which handle the sign in and token refresh, so there is no Zap to build and no API keys to paste.

Abort Repository Migration
Tool to abort a repository migration that is queued or in progress. Use when you need to cancel an ongoing migration operation.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a PENDING repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Add app access restrictions
Adds GitHub Apps to the list of apps allowed to push to a protected branch. The branch must already have protection rules with restrictions enabled. This endpoint only works for organization repositories, not personal repositories. Apps...
Add a repository collaborator
Adds a GitHub user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation ma...
Add assignees to an issue
Adds assignees to a GitHub issue. This action only adds users - it does not remove existing assignees. Changes are silently ignored if the authenticated user lacks push access to the repository.
Add email for auth user
Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's GitHub account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the...
What your agent does in Linear
Create attachment

Add reaction to comment
Tool to add a reaction to an existing Linear comment. Use when you want to programmatically react to a comment on an issue.
Create a comment

Create linear issue
Creates a new issue in a specified Linear project and team, requiring team_id and title, and allowing optional properties like description, assignee, state, priority, cycle, and due date. All UUID parameters (state_id, assignee_id, cycle...
Create issue relation

Create a label
Creates a new label in Linear for a specified team, used to categorize and organize issues. Label names must be unique within each team. If a label with the same name already exists, the existing label will be returned. Both new and exis...
How it works
Tell the agent what you want to happen between GitHub and Linear, for example to watch one and act in the other, or to keep the two in step. It reads what it needs from GitHub, works out what to do, and runs the matching action in Linear without you mapping a single field.
You can have it run once, on a schedule, or whenever something changes. Ask it for a status any time and it reads the latest from both apps back to you in the same chat.
Common questions about GitHub and Linear
- How do I connect GitHub and Linear to Operator?
- You authorize GitHub and Linear once each from your Operator dashboard. Operator holds both connections and refreshes the access tokens for you, so your agent keeps working across them without you signing in again.
- What can my agent do across GitHub and Linear?
- You describe the outcome in plain language and your agent works between the two, reading from one and acting in the other. It picks the right GitHub and Linear actions on its own, so you do not map fields or pick triggers.
- Can my agent keep GitHub and Linear in sync?
- Yes. It can watch GitHub and act in Linear, or keep both in step, reading from one and running the matching update in the other. This runs on demand when you ask or on a schedule you set.
- Do I need to build a workflow or write code?
- No. There is no workflow to build, no fields to map, and no API keys to paste. Operator manages both connections, and you give the agent instructions in plain language.
