Does GAIA sync Linear cycles for all teams or specific ones?

You configure which Linear teams sync to which calendars. This is useful for separating engineering team calendars from product or design team cycles.

Can GAIA send calendar invites to the team for sprint events?

Yes. When GAIA creates Google Calendar events from Linear cycles, you can configure it to add your team members as guests so the sprint events appear on everyone's calendar.

Automate Google Calendar + Linear with GAIA

Connect your engineering sprint schedule with Google Calendar automatically

Engineering teams plan in Linear but schedule in Google Calendar. Sprint start and end dates live in Linear but don't appear on the calendar. Important Linear deadlines and cycle reviews aren't visible in the tool engineers check for their daily schedule. GAIA connects the two so your engineering timeline is visible wherever you look.

Linear cycle dates appear on Google Calendar. Calendar events for sprint planning and retrospectives generate Linear cycle items. The engineering schedule and the project board tell the same story without manual synchronization between them.

5 things you can automate

Everything GAIA can do when Google Calendar and Linear are connected.

Linear cycle dates synced to Google Calendar

Linear sprint cycles appear as Google Calendar events with start and end dates, giving engineers and engineering managers visibility into the sprint timeline alongside their other commitments.

Linear issue due dates as calendar reminders

High-priority Linear issues with due dates create Google Calendar reminders so engineers see approaching deadlines in their calendar rather than only in Linear.

Sprint planning meeting prep from Linear

Before sprint planning calendar events, GAIA compiles the Linear backlog items proposed for the sprint and sends a prep summary so the team arrives with full context.

Retrospective data before review meetings

Before retrospective calendar events, GAIA pulls Linear cycle metrics (completed issues, velocity, cycle time) and creates a meeting prep document so retrospectives are data-informed.

Engineering milestone calendar events

Linear project milestones generate Google Calendar events so product launches, feature freezes, and major deliverables are visible on the shared team calendar.

How to set it up

Connect Google Calendar and Linear to GAIA in three steps.

1
Connect Google Calendar and Linear to GAIA
Authorize GAIA with your Google Calendar and Linear workspace. Specify which Linear teams and cycles should sync to which calendars.
2
Configure sync and notification rules
Choose which Linear events create Calendar events, which issue due dates generate reminders, and which calendar events should pull Linear context for prep summaries.
3
Engineering schedule and board stay aligned
Linear timelines appear on the calendar automatically. Calendar events have Linear context attached. Both tools reflect the same engineering schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. You can ask GAIA to create a new Linear cycle based on dates you've set in Google Calendar for a sprint, and it will configure the cycle with the correct start and end dates in Linear.
