Quick summary
This tutorial shows how to integrate Asana with GitLab using a Zapier automation, connecting task management in Asana to code collaboration in GitLab without writing any code. By setting up a Zap, teams can automatically trigger GitLab actions whenever new Asana events occur, reducing manual handoffs between project and engineering workflows.
Steps
- Log in to Zapier, click "Create," and then select "Zaps" to get started.
- Click "Trigger" to proceed to the trigger setup.
- Search for "Asana" and set it as the Trigger App.
- Choose an event under Asana to define what will activate the Zap.
- Sign in to your Asana account and click "Continue" to authenticate.
- Choose a value under "Workspace / Organization" and click "Continue" to proceed.
- Click "Test trigger" to verify the Asana connection.
- Choose an Asana Project and click "Continue with selected record" to confirm the test data.
- Search and select "GitLab" as the action app.
- Choose an event under GitLab to define the action to be performed.
- Sign in to your GitLab account to begin authentication.
- Enter your GitLab login details to proceed.
- Select "Continue" to advance past the authentication screen.
- Select "Yes, Continue to GitLab" to confirm account access.
- Select "Authorize Zapier" to grant Zapier permission to connect to GitLab.
- Complete and customize the required action fields to map Asana data to GitLab.
- Click "Test step" to verify the GitLab action works correctly.
- After testing, click "Publish" to activate the Asana–GitLab integration.
- Your Zap is now live, enabling seamless task management and collaboration across both platforms.
