How to Integrate Your Bug Tracker with Jira, Linear, and GitHub

The Integration Problem

Your team captures bugs in one tool but tracks work in another. QA uses a bug reporter, developers use Jira or Linear, and nobody wants to copy-paste between them.

The result? Bugs fall through the cracks. Status updates don't sync. Context gets lost.

Two-Way Sync, Not One-Way Export

BugZap doesn't just create issues in your project management tool — it keeps them in sync:

Jira Integration

Bug reports automatically create Jira issues with full context
When you close an issue in Jira, the bug is marked as resolved in BugZap
Screenshots, console logs, and metadata are attached to the Jira issue
Supports Jira Cloud with OAuth 2.0 and automatic token refresh

Linear Integration

New bugs become Linear issues in your selected team
State changes (Todo, In Progress, Done, Canceled) sync back to BugZap
Clean, minimal issue creation that fits Linear's philosophy

GitHub Integration

Bugs create GitHub issues in your selected repository
Closing or reopening the GitHub issue updates the BugZap status
Labels and metadata flow through automatically

Setting Up Integrations

Navigate to your project's Settings page
Find the Integrations section
Click Connect next to your tool of choice
Authorize via OAuth (secure — we never store your password)
Select the target project, team, or repository

That's it. From now on, every bug report is automatically synced.

Slack Notifications Too

Beyond project management integrations, BugZap also sends Slack notifications when:

A new bug is reported
A bug's status changes
A bug is assigned to a team member

Set up your Slack webhook URL in settings and your team stays informed without checking another dashboard.

Webhooks and Zapier

For custom workflows, BugZap supports:

Custom webhooks with HMAC-SHA256 signing for security
Zapier integration for connecting to 5,000+ apps
Events: bug created, status changed, assigned, comment added

Build the workflow that fits your team, not the other way around.
