Frequently Asked Questions about GitLab + Todoist integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with GitLab and Todoist

How do I set up the integration between GitLab and Todoist?

To set up the integration between GitLab and Todoist, start by selecting GitLab as your trigger app and choose an event, such as 'New Merge Request'. Then, connect your GitLab account to authorize access. Next, select Todoist as your action app and set up the desired action, like 'Create Task', and link your Todoist account. After configuring these triggers and actions to suit your needs, test the workflow to ensure it's working correctly.

What triggers in GitLab can be used with the integration?

In our GitLab integration, you can use a variety of triggers that include events such as 'New Commit', 'New Merge Request', 'New Issue', and changes to existing issues or requests. These triggers initiate actions within Todoist to keep tasks updated automatically.

Can I create Todoist tasks for specific branches in my GitLab repo?

Yes, when setting up your trigger in GitLab, you can specify branch names so that only activities from those particular branches lead to task creation in Todoist. This is useful if you're managing features or sprints on separate branches.

Is it possible to add comments from merge requests in GitLab directly into Todoist tasks?

Absolutely. You can configure our setup so that comments from a merge request trigger an action to add notes in a corresponding task within Todoist. This keeps all relevant information at your fingertips without manual copying.

How do we handle projects with different task priorities when using this integration?

When linking tasks from GitLab to Todoist, you can map specific trigger events (like issue assignments) to varying priority levels of tasks in Todoist. This allows for organized prioritization corresponding with project urgency or importance.

What happens if a GitLab issue is closed? Can it update in Todoist automatically?

Yes, closing an issue in GitLab can automatically mark the corresponding task as complete in Todoist. You need to select 'Issue Closed' as a trigger event during setup which then prompts an update action on the related task in Todoist.

Can I receive notifications in Todoist for new code commits on my projects?

Certainly. By setting 'New Commit' as a trigger event from GitLab, our system can create notifications through tasks or subtasks within Todoist. This ensures you're promptly informed about code updates.
