Linear + Zeplin: Seamless Design to Dev Handoff

## Close the Gap Between Design and Engineering Design handoff is where momentum dies. Specs live in Zeplin, tasks live in Linear, and engineers spend valuable time hunting for the right screen, the right annotation, or the right approval status. Neotask connects Linear and Zeplin so your team stops context-switching and starts shipping. With this integration, every Linear issue can reference the exact Zeplin screen it implements. Cycles stay on track because developers always know where to find the design source of truth — and designers know the moment implementation begins.

What You Can Do with Linear + Zeplin in Neotask

Link Zeplin Specs to Linear Issues

Attach Zeplin component and screen links directly to Linear issues during triage or sprint planning. Engineers open their issue, find the spec link, and start building — no Slack messages, no searching through Zeplin projects manually.

Track Design Implementation Across Cycles

Neotask gives you a unified view of which Linear issues in a cycle have associated Zeplin specs and which are still waiting on design. Spot blockers before they become delays. Keep design implementation tracking visible to both designers and developers in one place.

Zeplin Issue Tracking via Linear

When a developer spots a discrepancy between the Zeplin spec and the implementation, they can raise a Linear issue with the Zeplin screen embedded — giving designers full context without a lengthy back-and-forth. Comments stay in Linear where the engineering workflow lives.

Automate Status Handoffs

Neotask can trigger Linear issue state transitions when Zeplin screen statuses change — moving issues from "In Design" to "Ready for Development" automatically when a designer marks specs as final. Your cycle board reflects reality, not stale manual updates.

Centralize Design Notes in Linear Projects

Organize Zeplin project links alongside Linear projects so product managers, designers, and engineers share a single reference point per feature. No more mismatched versions between what was designed and what was scoped.

Why Teams Choose Neotask for Linear + Zeplin

Neotask acts as the intelligent layer between your design and development tools, automating the tedious parts of handoff so your team focuses on building great products.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Neotask link Zeplin specs to Linear issues?

Neotask lets you attach Zeplin screen and component URLs directly to Linear issues. You can configure automatic linking rules based on project names, labels, or cycle assignments — so the right Zeplin specs are always associated with the right Linear work items without manual copy-paste.

Can Neotask update Linear issue states when Zeplin design status changes?

Yes. Neotask monitors Zeplin screen status changes and can trigger corresponding Linear issue transitions — for example, automatically moving an issue to "Ready for Development" when a Zeplin screen is marked as finalized. This keeps your design implementation tracking accurate across the full handoff pipeline.

Does this integration support multiple Zeplin projects and Linear teams?

Neotask supports multi-project and multi-team configurations. You can map specific Zeplin projects to specific Linear teams or projects, ensuring that design specs route to the correct engineering workflow. This is especially useful for larger organizations running parallel product tracks.
