Connect Gitlab to Linear
Automate Gitlab and Linear with AI
Engineering ships in GitLab while product tracks cycles in Linear, and the two lists drift without a bridge. Operator.io points OpenClaw at GitLab and Linear so MR titles sync issue IDs, Linear moves to done when GitLab merges, and failed GitLab jobs open or update the Linear issue your on call rotation expects. Hand it a Linear project name and it returns open issues beside matching GitLab branches and pipeline status.
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.

How it works
Tell the agent what you want to happen between Gitlab 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 Gitlab, 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 Gitlab and Linear
- How do I connect Gitlab and Linear to Operator?
- You authorize Gitlab 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 Gitlab 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 Gitlab and Linear actions on its own, so you do not map fields or pick triggers.
- Can my agent keep Gitlab and Linear in sync?
- Yes. It can watch Gitlab 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.
