Frequently Asked Questions about Asana + GitLab integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Asana and GitLab
How do I integrate Asana with GitLab using your platform?
To integrate Asana with GitLab, first sign into our platform and connect both your Asana and GitLab accounts. Next, set up a 'Zap' to automate tasks. You can create triggers based on events, like a new task in Asana, that prompt actions like creating an issue in GitLab.
Can I use the integration to automatically open issues in GitLab when a task is added in Asana?
Yes, you can set up a trigger for when a new task is added in Asana. This will automatically open a corresponding issue in GitLab, ensuring that your development team is immediately updated on what's needed.
Is it possible to update an existing issue in GitLab when an Asana task is completed?
Absolutely, you can configure the integration such that completing a task in Asana triggers an update to the relevant issue in GitLab. For example, you might change the status of an issue or add a comment when its related task gets completed.
What types of triggers from GitLab can be used to create tasks in Asana?
When certain actions occur in GitLab, such as committing changes or closing issues, these can serve as triggers to create new tasks in Asana. This helps keep track of code changes that require follow-up or further project management efforts.
Can we sync comments between GitLab issues and Asana tasks?
Currently, direct syncing of comments between platforms requires custom setup through webhooks or APIs beyond our standard integration capabilities. We recommend consulting a developer for bespoke solutions.
Are there any limitations on the types of fields that can be synced between Asana and GitLab?
While you can sync many fields such as titles and descriptions between tasks and issues, some complex fields unique to each platform may not directly sync without additional customization. Review our documentation for specifics on mappable fields.
How often do synced items get updated between Asana and GitLab?
Typically, updates happen almost instantaneously as they are based on event triggers. However, depending on server loads and API limits from each platform, there may be small delays at times.
