Adjusting the project in Linear (trough the Google Task title)

Describe the problem/error/question

So what I want to do is to sync Google Tasks with Linear:

  1. When I make a Google Task (Create project roadmap for Client_X) I want to add it to Linear, but to the project Client_X. I can’t get it done with the regular node. I can only create a new task in Linear, without any project.
  2. When I complete the task (Create project roadmap for Client_X) in Linear, I want to also search for the task and complete it in Google Tasks as well.
  3. When I add a due date to a task in Linear, I want it to send it to Google Tasks as well, with that due date, so it popus up in my calendar. When I complete that task, in Google Tasks, I also want to complete it in Linear.

Please share your workflow

Since the official Linear node does not support all the different API functions, you need to use a HTTP request or GraphQL node instead and create your custom request. I think the GraphQL node is the better option here, since it is easier to configure.

Here you’ll find the documentation for the projectCreate mutation, that will allow you to add a new project to your Linear app:

Thanks for your comment! Very valid point, I ended up using the email templates of Linear. Do you thing the GraphQL node is better in this regard?

The email is a great work around. But it does not provide any logic for error handling, since it’s not replying with a direct success or error code. But if it fits your need, you’ll be good to go!
