Two Import Paths
Sinra offers two ways to bring existing work into an organization: a CSV file import for any tool that can export one, and a GitHub Issues import for repositories connected via OAuth.
CSV File Import
Import issues from a CSV file exported from any tool.
- Supports comma, semicolon, and tab delimiters
- Auto-mapping presets for Jira, Asana, Azure DevOps, and Linear: column headers from these tools are recognized automatically, so you don’t have to map fields by hand
- Other tools work too: map columns manually if no preset matches
- Up to 5,000 rows per import
Start an import from Import from CSV in the Issues section.
GitHub Issues
Import open or closed issues directly from a connected GitHub repository.
- Connect with OAuth, no personal access token required
- Filter by label, milestone, or state before importing
- Automatic duplicate detection avoids re-importing issues already present in Sinra
Start an import from Connect GitHub in the Issues section.
Relationship to VCS Integration
This import is a one-time bulk transfer of existing issues. It is separate from VCS integration, which continuously syncs development status from git events (PR opened, merged, etc.) after issues already exist in Sinra.
