Practical ways you can use GitLab and Microsoft Teams
Track GitLab commits in Teams.
When a new commit is made in GitLab, Zapier will automatically send a message to a Microsoft Teams channel to keep the business owner in the loop about development progress without interrupting the team.
Business Owner
Send Teams message for merge request reviews.
When you are requested to review a GitLab merge request, Zapier will send you a direct message in Microsoft Teams. This ensures you never miss important reviews, helping to maintain development velocity and code quality.
Engineering
Notify IT team of new GitLab issues in Teams.
When a new issue is created in a GitLab project, Zapier will send a notification message to a designated Microsoft Teams channel. This ensures the IT team is immediately informed and can prioritize tasks efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions about GitLab + Microsoft Teams integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with GitLab and Microsoft Teams
What steps do I need to follow to integrate GitLab with Microsoft Teams?
To integrate GitLab with Microsoft Teams, first navigate to your Teams channel where you want updates. Next, go to the Connectors and configure the GitLab connector. You will need a webhook URL from your Teams account and insert it into your GitLab project under Integration settings.
Can I set up notifications for specific actions in GitLab on Microsoft Teams?
Yes, our integration allows you to set up notifications in Microsoft Teams for specific triggers such as merge requests, issues creation, pipeline status changes, commits, and deployments from GitLab.
How can I troubleshoot if my GitLab updates are not appearing in Microsoft Teams?
If updates from GitLab are not appearing in Microsoft Teams, firstly check the webhook settings in both platforms. Verify that the webhook URL is correct. Also, ensure that the specific triggers for which notifications are set are correctly configured on both ends.
Is it possible to customize what information is sent from GitLab to Microsoft Teams?
Yes, you can customize the payload by selecting specific data points or adjusting settings within the integration options provided during setup. This ensures only relevant information is shared with your team on Microsoft Teams.
Do we have any limitations on how many projects can be integrated from GitLab to one Microsoft Teams channel?
There is no hard limit enforced by our tools on integrating multiple projects from GitLab into a single channel in Microsoft Teams. However, consider potential overlap or information overload when setting up multiple project integrations.
Can we receive alerts for failed pipelines directly in Microsoft Teams?
Yes, alerts for failed pipelines can be set as a trigger within our integration setup so that notifications appear directly within a specified Microsoft Teams channel.
What should I do if my authentication fails while integrating these platforms?
Ensure that you have the necessary permissions both in GitLab and Microsoft Teams before attempting integration again. Double-check your credentials or tokens involved during the authentication process.
