Create a GitLab issue when a task is added to an Asana project

■Overview

When using Asana, a project management tool, alongside GitLab, a source code management tool, are you spending time manually transferring task information and dealing with errors?
Creating GitLab issues manually every time a development task is created in Asana is redundant and can lead to important information being missed. This workflow seamlessly solves these challenges by integrating Asana with GitLab and automating the process from task creation to issue creation.

■Who Is This Template For?

• Managers who use both Asana and GitLab to manage development projects
• Development team members who manually create GitLab issues based on tasks assigned in Asana
• Teams looking to automate the integration between Asana and GitLab and improve productivity across the development process

■Benefits of Using This Template

• When a task is added to Asana, a GitLab issue is created automatically, reducing the time previously spent creating issues manually
• Eliminating manual data entry helps prevent human errors such as incorrect task details or missed issue creation

■Flowbot Workflow

1. First, connect Asana and GitLab to Yoom
2. Next, select Asana as the trigger and configure the action “When a new task is added to a specific project”
3. Finally, configure GitLab’s “Create an issue” action as the operation, map the Asana task information retrieved by the trigger, and set up the workflow to create issues automatically

※“Trigger”: The action that starts the flow. “Operation”: The action that performs processing within the flow after the trigger starts.

■Customization Options for This Workflow

• In the Asana trigger settings, select the project you want to include in the integration
• In the GitLab operation settings, freely choose which information from Asana—such as the task name, assignee, and due date—to link to the title and description of the issue being created
• You can also configure the workflow to assign specific labels or an assignee to the GitLab issues it creates

◼️Notes‍

• Connect both Asana and GitLab to Yoom.
• You can choose a trigger interval of 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes.
• Note that the shortest trigger interval varies depending on your plan.
