Data
Projects:
ZEP transfers projects to Linear. The following information is used:

Tickets:
ZEP transfers ticket information to Linear. Changes to tickets in ZEP are automatically transferred to Linear. This ensures that the corresponding information in Linear remains up to date when updated in ZEP.
Status Mapping:
A status mapping can be used for tickets. This allows you to define which ZEP status corresponds to which Linear status.
ZEP-Status | Linear-Status |
