Engineering work lives in GitHub. Customer-facing work lives in Lattica. Keeping them in sync without a janky cron job is what this integration is for.<\/p>\n

GitHub: pull request linking<\/h2>\n

Mention a Lattica task ID in a PR title, body, or commit message \u2014 LAT-1284<\/code> \u2014 and the integration links them automatically. The task gets a small GitHub icon next to its title, and the PR’s status shows up on the task: Draft \/ Open \/ In review \/ Merged \/ Closed<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Closing a PR with merge auto-closes the linked task if the task is in a status configured to close on merge. By default that’s just the In progress<\/em> column on engineering projects.<\/p>\n

GitHub: issue sync<\/h2>\n

You can sync a GitHub issue and a Lattica task bidirectionally. Title, description, and status flow both ways; comments are mirrored with attribution. Use this when your team genuinely lives in both \u2014 for example, an open-source project where contributors are in GitHub and your internal team is in Lattica.<\/p>\n

Setup<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Settings \u2192 Integrations \u2192 GitHub \u2192 Install<\/li>\n
  2. Authorize the GitHub App on your organization<\/li>\n
  3. Pick the repositories to connect<\/li>\n
  4. For each repo, choose Link only<\/em> or Bidirectional sync<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Linear: one-way import<\/h2>\n

    If you’re migrating from Linear, the Linear integration runs a one-time import of your workspace, mapping teams to projects and issues to tasks. Comments, labels, assignees, and statuses come over. Cycles map to Lattica’s milestones.<\/p>\n

    The import is read-only \u2014 Lattica does not write back to Linear. After import, decide whether to keep both running in parallel or fully cut over.<\/p>\n

    Limits and gotchas<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • GitHub task IDs in PR descriptions are matched case-insensitively but must include the project prefix (LAT-<\/code> not bare 1284<\/code>).<\/li>\n
    • Lattica respects GitHub’s draft state \u2014 draft PRs don’t trigger task closure.<\/li>\n
    • Bidirectional sync uses GitHub’s webhook delivery; if GitHub has an outage, sync resumes when their webhook queue clears.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
