Providers are the beating heart of our app. A providers connects your GitLab instance with your monday.com account. You can choose to connect to a GitLab SaaS account or a Self-Managed environment.

GitLab SaaS is the Cloud hosted version of GitLab.

Paste the access token in the dedicated field of the GitLab integration.
Click the Connect button to test and save the connection.
The self hosted version of GitLab can also be connected to your monday.com account. You'll need to set-up a public URL for us to connect to. We recommend using a subdomain structure like gitlab.example.com.
