GitLab Integration Limited to Personal Repositories

Why would Monday work on a Gitlab integration that works only with Personal repositories makes very little sense to me.

Would you at least share the work that you have done -the personal repository integration- with the dev community so that we can expand it to include group repositories. I think this would be helpful.

Hi @alejandro

Thanks for sharing this! I see how publishing the work we have done with this integration in the dev community could help other users expand the functionalities of this integration. I have forwarded this thought to our integrations team for consideration.

Hello, we’re currently looking for a managing app, and we’re hesitating between Monday and Asana. If it was possible to connect our private gitlab repository to our Monday board we would jump in and take Monday any time over Asana.

It’s a big plus for any IT company to be able to sync those two tools.

This is a feature that our company needs. Would be nice to know if it will be available in the near future!

after upgrading the account, and spent time on creating form and trying to integrate with GitLab, and it only shows personal account without any group. It is ridiculous not support group in GitLab. In my point of view if you are not integrating with GitLab’s group, you are basically not integrating with GitLab, which is a cheat saying so. A big disappointment and I now need to seek alternative to do so.

Hi, same question here.
Do you plan to integrate with Gitlab group repositories soon ?

I subscribed to a free trial today. I was convinced until I tried to connect a gitlab repo…
Integration with github organisations is very good. I don’t understand why you didn’t do the same with gitlab ? Is it due to a limitation of gitlab ?

Hey there! While monday.com may not integrate group repositories, integration platforms, like Unito, do integrate group repositories between monday.com + Gitlab! That way you can have your teams still collaborate across both platforms. Here’s a page that might have more information. Hope this helps :slight_smile:

Sorry, that does not help. It makes no sense for Monday.com to build an integration which is essentially useless for any organization. This integration seems very poorly thought out, or whoever had to implement it dediced to cut corners.

We are currently doing a trial of Monday.com and as lead developer, this means from my team it’s a “No” to Monday.com.

Has there been an update on this topic, or anything the team can share on the development @ErickE-monday.com ?

Hi Jilian, do you have a more in depth example of how to set this up to sync gitlab issues to monday.com?

Hey @Adriaan, I think the easiest way would be to contact support@unito.io so someone on our team could walk you through it! We don’t have any written in depth examples of this set up, but I will bring this up to the content team. :slight_smile:

I’d like to echo the support above. This is a dealbreaker.

Personal repos are not the ones you would like to be managed using monday.com, rendering monday’s current Gitlab integration rather useless. Any plans to resolve this?

I received a personal message stating that

“At the moment, the Gitlab integration only supports personal projects. Meaning, you’re unable to integrate projects from groups. In full transparency, we likely will not be building on or adding to this integration so I would love to share some alternative options with you!”

I don’t understand why this is the case, as there is clearly a need. The alternative options stated are similar as the ones known, with a very hard to implement Zapier workaround. If this is technically not possible, please state so.

Hi all!

We’ve recently added a new monday.com - GitLab integration in the marketplace which basically solves the problem of being limited to personal repositories.

See our thread in the app announcements: New GitLab integration!

Hope to get in contact with you soon!

@EBeer I am trying to use this GitLab integration, and it still does not allow me to select repositories for my organization. It is only showing personal repositories. Did i choose the wrong app?

[edit] Looks like I was looking in the wrong place… I found the link here: https://monday.com/marketplace/107

@BenDavis Hi Ben, did you manage to connect your organizations repositories?
Otherwise, feel free to contact us as monday@avisi-apps.com
