Create a GitLab issue when a task matching specific conditions is added in Clockify

■Overview

When managing tasks in Clockify alongside issues in GitLab, do you ever find yourself spending too much time manually transferring information? Missing tasks or entering incorrect details can lead to project delays. With this workflow, whenever a task that meets specific conditions is added in Clockify, an issue is automatically created in GitLab. Automate the tedious integration between Clockify and GitLab to improve the accuracy and speed of your work.

■Who should use this template

• Developers who track time in Clockify and manage development tasks in GitLab
• Project managers who spend too much time manually entering information between Clockify and GitLab
• Team leaders who want to prevent missed tasks and improve team productivity

■Benefits of using this template

• Because creating a task in Clockify triggers the automatic creation of an issue in GitLab, you can eliminate the manual process of transferring information between Clockify and GitLab.
• Prevent human errors such as missed task registrations and copy-and-paste mistakes that often occur when creating issues manually, keeping information accurate across platforms.

■Workflow steps

1. First, connect Clockify and GitLab to Yoom.
2. Next, select Clockify as the trigger and set the action to “When a new task is created.”
3. Then, configure branching in the operation settings so that only tasks matching specific conditions proceed to the subsequent steps.
4. Finally, set the GitLab “Create an issue” action in the operation settings and create an issue based on the information retrieved by the trigger.

※“Trigger”: An action that starts the workflow. “Operation”: An action that processes data within the workflow after the trigger runs.

■Customization options

• Set custom branching conditions, such as creating a GitLab issue only when the task information received from Clockify includes a specific project name or task name.
• Freely include information retrieved from Clockify, such as the task name or project name, in the title or description of the GitLab issue you create.

■Notes‍

• Connect both Clockify and GitLab to Yoom.
• Branching is an operation available on the Mini plan and above. On the Free plan, configured workflow operations that use branching will result in an error.
• Paid plans such as the Mini plan include a 2-week free trial. During the free trial, you can use apps and features (operations) that are otherwise subject to plan restrictions.
