Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Linear, Google Calendar, 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 Calendar integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Linear and Google Calendar (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 Calendar
Linear + Google Calendar + Slack: When a Linear issue is updated, check if the due date is approaching. If so, create an event in Google Calendar as a reminder and post a notification in Slack to alert the assignee.
Google Calendar + Linear + Clockify: When a new event is created in Google Calendar, create a corresponding issue in Linear. Simultaneously start a timer in Clockify to track time spent working on the issue.
