"I want to quickly share changes on GitLab!"
"The content added to GitLab is not being communicated..."
Do you have these concerns?
This might lead to poor communication within the development team or inefficient progress in tasks, suggesting there is room for improvement...
<span class="mark-yellow">Therefore, this time, we will introduce a method to automate the sending, forwarding, and notification of GitLab data!</span>
If the data added or updated in GitLab can be automatically sent to chat tools or email tools, the manual processes you have been doing can be simplified, making it easier to notice changes or additions to the code.
It may also lead to business improvements, so please take it as a reference!
Yoom provides templates for automating workflows using GitLab! If you want to try it immediately, click the banner below to start!
There are several ways to automatically send and forward GitLab data. We've picked out a few methods for you to check out!
Simply click "Try it out" on the automation example you're interested in and register an account to immediately experience GitLab's automatic updates.
Registration takes just 30 seconds, so feel free to give it a try!
This flow automatically sends GitLab data updates to email apps like Outlook. Automatic notifications facilitate smoother communication among members and improve work efficiency.
This is a flow for sending and forwarding GitLab data updates to chat applications like Microsoft Teams. It helps you quickly respond to update notifications, preventing project delays.
Now, let's create a flow to automatically notify GitLab data!
This time, we will proceed with the setup using Yoom without any code, so if you do not have a Yoom account yet, please issue an account from this registration form.
[What is Yoom]
This time, we will create a flow bot that "sends an email via Gmail when an issue is updated in GitLab"!
The creation process is broadly divided into the following steps.
Here, we will connect Yoom with each app to enable operations.
[Connecting GitLab to My Apps]
1. After logging into Yoom, click on My Apps on the left side of the Yoom page screen, and select ”+ Add” on the right.
2. Enter "GitLab" in the search box at the top right and select GitLab from the search results.
3. When the following screen appears, enter your email address and password, and click "Sign In".
4. After clicking, an authentication code will be sent to the email address of the account you are connecting.
Check the authentication code in the email and enter it.
This completes the connection with GitLab!
【Connecting Gmail to My Apps】
1. Next, register Gmail to My Apps.
Follow the same steps as before, click the "+ Add" button on Yoom's My Page, and select "Gmail".
2. When you select Gmail, the following screen will appear. When the following screen appears, press "Sign in with Google".
3. Select the account you want to connect this time.
When the screen transitions, click "Continue".
4. You will be asked to select the information Yoom can access, so click "Select All".
Once the checkboxes are checked in blue, select "Continue" at the bottom of the page.
This completes the registration of Gmail to My Apps.
If GitLab and Gmail are displayed in My Apps, the registration is complete!
Now, we will finally start creating the flow!
We are using a template for easy setup, so log in to Yoom and click "Try it" on the banner below.
The template will be automatically copied to your workspace, so please click "OK" on the next screen that appears.
This is the initial setup! From here, we will set up a flowbot that sends an email via Gmail when an issue is updated in GitLab.
1. Please click "When an issue is updated".
2. This page is already set up.
Check if the account information is correct and click "Next".
3. Next, when the following screen appears, enter the required fields.
4. You can choose the trigger interval from 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes. A shorter setting is generally recommended!
Please note that the shortest trigger interval varies depending on the plan.
5. For "Project ID", click the input field and select from the displayed options.
6. Before conducting the test, switch to the GitLab screen and update the issue. The following image is an example setting.
Note: The test will not succeed if the update is not made on GitLab. Please be careful.
7. Once the setup is complete, conduct a test.
If the test is successful, you can obtain the output.
Since the output will be used in the subsequent settings, please check for any mistakes.
8. If there are no issues, click "Save".
This completes the GitLab setup!
This is the final setup! Here, we will set up notifications to Gmail.
1. Please click "Send Email".
2. Verify that the account information for integration is correct.
The title is set by default, so no action is required.
3. Scroll down the screen to display the following screen. Enter the required fields and feel free to configure the rest.
4. In the "Body" setting, you can use the output displayed by clicking the input field.
5. Once the input is complete, click "Next".
6. When the following screen appears, check the "Email Content" and click "Test".
7. If the test is successful, "Test Successful" will be displayed, so click "Save".
8. Finally, check Gmail. The email should have been sent as shown below.
The email was successfully sent. Well done!
This was the method to send an email via Gmail when an issue is updated in GitLab!
Once the setup is complete, the following menu will be displayed.
Click "Turn on the trigger" to automatically start the flowbot.
Yoom offers many other automation templates that utilize GitLab!
Please explore to see if there are any automation examples with apps you are familiar with.
We introduced how to automatically send, notify, and forward GitLab data to chat tools and email tools using the no-code tool Yoom!
As we mainly introduced this time, the flow to notify updates from GitLab can be automated, as well as retrieving information from databases and synchronizing with other tools. If data management related to development becomes easier, it seems like a smarter work environment can be established!
Also, automation using GitLab like this can be easily achieved with Yoom, which requires no programming!
Since automation can be introduced more easily and smoothly, beginners might find it advantageous.
Additionally, Yoom allows you to create a free account! After creating an account, you can immediately check the actual operability, so if you have even a little interest, why not take this opportunity to try it out?
Be sure to introduce automation and establish a comfortable work environment!
