What it reads

  • Merge requests: state, approvals, pipelines, linked issues, labels

  • Commits and target branches

How it connects

Questions buyers ask

Does it write to customers or change records?

No. It writes nothing at all. Statuses, replies and approvals stay with your team in GitLab.

What does it need access to?

OAuth (GitLab application) with read access to the projects you choose. Each workspace connects its own account; nothing is shared between workspaces, and credentials are stored encrypted.

Does it work before the integration is connected?

Yes. Paste a link to a process document and describe the situation; the next step and the course exist the same minute. The integration adds the record's own history as evidence.

See it on one of your own documents

Paste a link to a procedure. The next step and the course exist the same minute; connect GitLab when you are ready.
