Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Linear, Google Ads, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Linear and Google Ads integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Linear and Google Ads (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Linear and Google Ads
Linear + Google Ads + Slack: When a Linear issue is resolved (Updated Issue trigger), the automation searches for relevant Google Ads campaigns and adds a comment to the Linear issue to update campaign information. Then, it notifies the marketing team in Slack via a public channel message.
Google Ads + Linear + Google Sheets: Track Google Ads campaign performance. When campaign costs exceed a defined threshold (simulated with 'Get Campaign' and manual threshold check in JavaScript), create a Linear issue to investigate and log the event details in Google Sheets.
