Create a GitLab issue when a record matching specific conditions is added to Airtable

■Overview

Are you manually transferring tasks and bug reports managed in Airtable to GitLab, which your development team uses? This process is not only time-consuming but also prone to human error, such as data entry mistakes and omissions. With this workflow, an issue is automatically created in GitLab whenever a record that meets specific conditions is added to Airtable, eliminating the need for manual data transfer. Streamline integration between Airtable and GitLab and improve the efficiency of your development operations.

■Recommended for

• Development team members who manually create GitLab issues based on information managed in Airtable
• Those who use Airtable and GitLab for project management and want to eliminate duplicate data entry
• Project managers who want to eliminate delays in information sharing and enable teams to start tasks quickly

■Benefits of using this template

• A GitLab issue is automatically created when a record is added to Airtable, allowing you to spend the time previously used for manual work on other tasks
• Because the system processes everything automatically, it helps prevent human errors such as manual data entry mistakes and missed issue creation, improving the accuracy of information sharing

■Flow bot steps

1. First, connect Airtable and GitLab with Yoom
2. Next, select Airtable as the trigger and set the action to “When a record is added”
3. Next, configure the branching feature in an operation so that only records meeting specific conditions proceed to the subsequent steps
4. Finally, configure GitLab’s “Create an issue” action in an operation so that an issue is created based on the Airtable record information

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

■Customization options

• Set the execution conditions as needed in the branching settings—for example, create an issue only when a record with a specific status is added
• Choose which Airtable record information to include in the title and body of the GitLab issue

■Notes‍

• Connect both Airtable and GitLab with Yoom.
• You can select a trigger interval of 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes.
• Note that the shortest available trigger interval varies by plan.
• Branching is an operation available on the Mini plan and above. On the Free Plan, operations configured in your flow bot will result in an error.
• Paid plans, such as the Mini Plan, include a two-week free trial. During the free trial, you can use apps and features (operations) subject to plan restrictions.
