Connect Gmail to Linear
Automate Gmail and Linear with AI
A bug report or feature ask buried in Gmail can land in Linear without copy paste. On Operator.io, an OpenClaw agent reads the thread, creates the issue with labels and priority, links the Gmail message for context, and updates the issue when a reply closes the loop or changes scope.
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 Gmail 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 Gmail, 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 Gmail and Linear
- How do I connect Gmail and Linear to Operator?
- You authorize Gmail 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 Gmail and Linear?
- Tell it the job and it moves between Gmail and Linear as one task, choosing which actions to run on each side. There is nothing to map and no trigger to configure; you give instructions the way you would to a person.
- Can my agent keep Gmail and Linear in sync?
- Yes. It can watch Gmail 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.
