2. Create a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To create a new workflow in Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to name your workflow, such as ‘Save GitLab Issues to Google Sheets’. This helps you identify the workflow easily in the future.

• Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button.
• Enter a name for your workflow.
• Select GitLab as the trigger application.

After naming your workflow, select GitLab as the trigger application. This is crucial as it allows Pabbly Connect to listen for new issues created in GitLab. Once set, proceed to choose the trigger event, which will typically be ‘New Issue’.

3. Set Up GitLab Trigger in Pabbly Connect

Setting up the GitLab trigger in Pabbly Connect is a critical step. You will need to connect your GitLab account by providing the necessary API key. This allows Pabbly Connect to fetch the issues directly from your GitLab account.

Once connected, you can test the trigger to ensure it’s working correctly. This test will pull in a recent GitLab issue, which you can use to verify that the integration is functioning. Testing is essential to confirm that Pabbly Connect is correctly set up to receive data from GitLab.

4. Connect Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect

Next, you will connect Google Sheets to your workflow in Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘+’ icon to add an action step after your GitLab trigger. Choose Google Sheets as the action application.

• Select the action event as ‘Add Row’.
• Connect your Google Sheets account using your credentials.
• Choose the specific Google Sheet where you want to save the issues.

After connecting to Google Sheets, map the fields from GitLab to your Google Sheet columns. This ensures that the data from GitLab issues is accurately reflected in your spreadsheet. Once everything is set, test the action to confirm that a new row is added to your Google Sheet when a GitLab issue is created.

5. Finalize and Activate Your Workflow

Finally, review your entire workflow in Pabbly Connect. Make sure all connections are properly set and that the trigger and action are functioning as expected. Once satisfied, activate your workflow to start saving GitLab issues to Google Sheets in real-time.

With your workflow activated, any new issues created in GitLab will automatically populate your specified Google Sheet. This real-time integration enhances your project management capabilities significantly, making it easier to track issues as they arise.
