How to Integrate Confluence with Gitlab

Use this interactive demo to learn how to connect Confluence and GitLab automatically using Zapier.

Quick summary

This tutorial shows how to integrate Confluence with GitLab using a Zapier automation, connecting a Confluence trigger to a GitLab action so updates flow between your documentation and code repository automatically. The entire setup takes place inside the Zapier Zap editor and requires no custom code.


Steps

  1. Log in to Zapier, click Create, and select Zaps to begin building a new automation.
  2. Click Trigger in the Zap editor to start configuring the trigger step.
  3. Search for and select Confluence as the Trigger App.
  4. Choose a trigger event that will start the Zap when something happens in Confluence.
  5. Sign in to your Confluence account to authorize the connection.
  6. Fill in the required Confluence fields and click Continue to proceed.
  7. Click Test trigger to verify that Zapier can pull a sample record from Confluence.
  8. Select Continue with selected record to confirm the test data and move to the action step.
  9. Search for and select GitLab as the action app.
  10. Choose an action event for GitLab, then click Sign in to authorize the GitLab connection.
  11. Fill in the required GitLab fields and click Continue to finalize the action configuration.
  12. Click Test step to confirm the GitLab action works correctly with the sample data.
  13. Click Publish to activate the integration and complete the Confluence–GitLab Zap.

📌 Why this matters

Integrating Confluence with GitLab via Zapier eliminates the manual effort of keeping documentation and code repositories in sync. When a Confluence page is updated, a corresponding action in GitLab — such as creating an issue or triggering a pipeline — fires automatically, reducing context-switching for engineering and documentation teams. This no-code automation helps software teams maintain a single source of truth across their knowledge base and version control system without writing custom scripts or maintaining webhooks.
