In teams that regularly create and add tasks for task management and project progress, many people want to minimize input work and human errors. By integrating Google Sheets with GitLab, you can automate the task creation process in GitLab when a row is added to Google Sheets. This article introduces how to create an automation flow that enhances work efficiency without the need for programming. Let's explore the appeal of Yoom's app integration, which aims to prevent manual input errors and improve work speed.
Recommended for
・Those who use Google Sheets and GitLab and feel burdened by task management ・Those troubled by frequent input and transcription errors in manual work ・Those considering flow automation and wanting to speed up daily operations ・Those who want to achieve work efficiency through automation using multiple tools ・Those who manage customer information with Google Sheets and want to use GitLab for task management
Benefits and Examples of Integrating Google Sheets and GitLab
1. Prevention of Human Errors
When manually creating ISSUES from Google Sheets to GitLab, there is a risk of incorrect input or omissions, but with app integration and automation, you can expect a reduction in task and information transcription errors. For example, when a new task is added to Google Sheets, it is automatically created as an Issue in GitLab, preventing information transmission errors and management omissions due to manual input.
2. Improved Work Speed
By reducing the time spent manually creating ISSUES in GitLab, you can expect an overall speed-up of operations. For example, when the sales team inputs product improvement requests gathered from customers into Google Sheets, they are quickly created as Issues in GitLab. The development team can then review them and start improving the product, potentially further enhancing development speed.
3. Reduction of Work Costs
By implementing this automation flow, you can expect a reduction in the time and effort spent manually inputting tasks and information. For example, if customer support representatives previously communicated task details to the development team via GitLab based on customer feedback, there were differences in input methods among representatives, requiring additional confirmation efforts. If the content entered in Google Sheets is added directly as an Issue, you can create easy-to-read Issues in a consistent format. With easier confirmation of task details, the development team can work smoothly, potentially reducing work costs within the company.

Now, let's create a flowbot using the template "Create a GitLab issue when a row is added in Google Sheets".
How to Create a Google Spreadsheet and GitLab Integration Flow
The process to complete the flow will proceed as follows.
・Integrate Google Spreadsheet and GitLab with My Apps ・Copy the template ・Set triggers in Google Spreadsheet and configure GitLab ・Turn on the trigger
Now, let's proceed with the new connection of the apps to be integrated.
・Integrate Google Spreadsheet and GitLab with My Apps
(1) First, connect Google Spreadsheet to My Apps. After logging into your Yoom account, click "My Apps" on the left column and search for Google Spreadsheet from "New Connection".
Search for and click on the Google Spreadsheet app icon.
(2) Click "Sign in with Google" to proceed to the account selection screen, and select the account you want to integrate from the right management account. After selection, proceed to the sign-in screen and complete the authentication. This completes the connection of Google Spreadsheet.
(3) Next, integrate the GitLab app. Select GitLab in the same way as registering Google Spreadsheet with My Apps.
(4) Enter the "Username or Main Email Address" and "Password" of the GitLab you want to integrate. After entering the information, click [Sign In].
(5) Authenticate on the subsequent screen. If the settings are done correctly, you will be moved to the My Apps screen of your Yoom account with the two apps added.
Now, the two apps are connected to your Yoom account.
・Copy the Template
After confirming that the new connection of the target app to your Yoom account is complete, click the icon for "Try this template" below.
The template will be copied, so please click the "OK" button.
Please move to the "My Projects" screen of your Yoom account and check the template content.
There are three setup flows.

Until now, as customer support, we have made efforts to resolve users' questions and concerns.
I was moved to learn that by using Yoom, tasks that are becoming increasingly complicated on a daily basis will progress quickly!
From now on, we will continue to distribute content with easy-to-understand content so that people who aim to improve work efficiency can use the service smoothly.
Conventional RPA can only automate simple repetitive tasks, and the setup process was very complicated. With “hyperautomation,” which combines various technologies such as AI, API, RPA, and OCR, it is possible to automate many tasks that could not be realized until now more easily than before.
Most tools simply connect one app to another, leaving the complex tasks to you. Yoom goes much further: From document creation and browser automation to OCR and generative AI, Yoom handles it all seamlessly in one platform.
Why settle for basic integrations? Streamline your entire workflow with Yoom’s powerful hyperautomation.
