Frequently Asked Questions about GitLab + Smartsheet integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with GitLab and Smartsheet
How do I set up a trigger for new issues in GitLab to add a row in Smartsheet?
To set up a trigger for new issues in GitLab that adds a row in Smartsheet, you need to connect your GitLab account with your Smartsheet account through our integration platform. Once connected, you'll create a Zap where the trigger is 'New Issue Event' in GitLab and the action is 'Create Row' in Smartsheet. You can map the issue details from GitLab to specific columns in your Smartsheet.
Can I update a Smartsheet when a GitLab merge request is closed?
Yes, you can update a row or cell in Smartsheet when a merge request is closed in GitLab. Set this up by creating an automation where the trigger is 'Merge Request Event' with the action of 'Update Row' or 'Update Cell' within your specified sheet.
Is it possible to send alerts to GitLab users based on updates in Smartsheet?
Currently, you can't send direct alerts to GitLab users based on updates from Smartsheet. However, you can set up notifications through emails or messages using additional integrations like Gmail or Slack, where changes in Smartsheet can serve as triggers for those notifications.
What information from GitLab projects can be tracked or recorded automatically into Smartsheet?
You can track and record various events from GitLab projects directly into Smartsheet like new issues, commits, branch creations, and merge request activities by setting them up as respective triggers. Each of these activities can map onto rows or specific data fields within your sheets.
How do I handle authentication requirements when setting up an integration between GitLab and Smartsheet?
Authentication for setting up an integration between GitLab and Smartsheet requires authorizing access for both systems through our platform. Follow the guided authentication steps within our interface; you'll need credentials for both services with proper permissions setup on both sides.
Can I customize which fields are updated in Smartsheet based on changes detected within my GitLab projects?
Yes, customization of field mapping between changes detected in your GitLab projects and corresponding fields updated within Smartsheets is supported. During setup, specify which fields should correspond between systems to ensure that only relevant information is transferred.
Are there limitations on how frequently changes are synced between GitLab and Smartsheet?
The frequency of syncing changes between GitLab and Smartsheet depends on how you configure triggers and actions—typically near real-time updates are feasible. However, specific limitations might depend on rate limits imposed by either platform's API standards.
