GitLab

GitLab is a source-control and DevOps platform. Read projects and read or create issues from your AI workflows.

Connectors

Choose the connector that matches your authentication method. The options below use the names shown in StackAI.

Connector	Authentication
GitLab (Access Token)	Personal Access Token

GitLab (Access Token)

Connect to GitLab to read projects and read or create issues.

Set up in GitLab

1. Sign in to GitLab, select your avatar, and open Edit profile.

2. In the left sidebar go to Access → Personal access tokens.

3. Create a token with a name, expiry, and the api scope (needed to read projects and create issues), then copy it; it is shown only once.

Set up in StackAI

1. Open Settings → Connections, add a connection, and select GitLab (Access Token).

2. Enter the credentials and connection details in the fields below.

3. Save the connection and check its connection status. Select this saved connection when configuring an action or feature that uses it.

Connection fields

StackAI field	Required	What to enter
Personal Access Token	Yes	A GitLab Personal Access Token with the api (or read_api) scope. Provider instructions.

Provider documentation: Setup reference.

Verify the connection

Check that the connection is healthy. Then run a read operation against a resource the connected account can access. A successful connection check confirms authentication; it does not guarantee permission for every action.

If access is denied, check the credential or OAuth permissions, the selected account or environment, and access to the specific resource. Update expired credentials or reconnect after permissions change.

Use an action

1. Add the required GitLab action to the workflow.

2. Select a connection when the action requests one.

3. Complete the required fields. Use the reference picker when a value comes from another workflow step.

4. Run the workflow and inspect the action’s output. Check the result before using it in a later step.

Important behavior

Actions that create, update, send, or delete data can change the connected service. Review their inputs before running them. A retry can repeat an operation; consider this when configuring retries for actions that change data.

The catalog lists the fields and capabilities available in the supplied provider definition. Availability can also depend on your deployment and organization’s Feature Access settings.
