Frequently asked questions about Linear and Zendesk
Yes. Linear’s own Zendesk integration lets agents create or link a Linear issue from a ticket, and it posts an internal note and can reopen the ticket when the issue is completed or canceled. It needs a Linear Business or Enterprise plan. Unito syncs the ticket and the issue in both directions, so status, priority and comments stay current in both tools. Rules decide which tickets create issues, so agents don’t file each one by hand.
Yes. Flow rules create a Linear issue when a Zendesk ticket matches conditions you set, such as a tag, a priority or a ticket type. The ticket and the issue stay linked, so later updates sync both ways.
Yes. New comments sync in both directions, and rules decide which Zendesk comments cross over, so internal notes can stay in Zendesk. Attachments sync too. Zendesk doesn’t allow edits to a comment once it’s posted, so an edit made in Linear after the comment syncs stays in Linear.
No. Unito syncs Linear’s native issue fields, such as title, status, priority, estimate, cycle and project. Zendesk custom ticket fields can map to those Linear fields.
