Practical ways you can use GitLab and Google Sheets
Log GitLab commits in a Google Sheet
Every time a new commit is made in GitLab, Zapier updates a Google Sheet with the details. This helps engineering teams quickly review commit histories and track code changes without switching between platforms.
When a new issue is created in GitLab, Zapier automatically adds it to a designated Google Sheet. This allows IT teams to maintain a clear overview of all reported issues in one place, making it easier to track progress and allocate resources effectively.
When a merge request is updated in GitLab, Zapier records the event in a Google Sheet. Project managers can then easily track and review the progress of merge requests across various initiatives.

Frequently Asked Questions about GitLab + Google Sheets integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with GitLab and Google Sheets
Can I use GitLab and Google Sheets integration to automatically update my spreadsheets when new issues are created?
Yes, with our integration, you can set up a trigger in GitLab for when a new issue is created. This will automatically populate your Google Sheet with the details of the issue.
How can I record changes to merge requests from GitLab in Google Sheets?
You can set up an action that records changes to merge requests in your Google Sheet. Every time a merge request is updated, we can push relevant information like status and comments to specified columns in your sheet.
Is it possible to track project milestones from GitLab in Google Sheets?
Absolutely, you can set up triggers within our integration that capture milestones reached in GitLab projects and record these updates directly into your Google Sheets.
Can I import data from Google Sheets back into GitLab?
While our primary focus is on pushing data from GitLab to Google Sheets, importing data from Sheets back into GitLab requires custom scripts or additional third-party tools as it’s not directly supported by our core integration features.
What types of GitLab activities can be tracked in Google Sheets using the integration?
Our integration allows tracking a variety of activities such as new commits, issues updates, merge request changes, and milestone completions. You simply need to set the desired triggers and map them to actions on your sheet.
How frequently will my Google Sheet be updated with new data from GitLab?
We provide options for real-time updates or scheduled syncs on intervals you choose, ensuring your data remains current with minimal delay between triggers occurring in GitLab and their reflection in Sheets.
Do I need any coding skills to integrate GitLab with Google Sheets?
No coding skills are required for setting up basic triggers and actions between GitLab and Google Sheets using our integration tool. The process is designed to be user-friendly for all skill levels.
