1 min read
GitLab Issues integrations let Hawzu create and link GitLab issues from defects.
Before You Start
Section titled “Before You Start”Prepare these GitLab details:
- GitLab Instance URL, such as
https://gitlab.com - Personal Access Token
The setup window explains that the token needs issue access through GitLab permissions. Use a token that can reach the GitLab projects where Hawzu should create issues.
Add GitLab Issues
Section titled “Add GitLab Issues”- Open the workspace Integrations page.
- Select Add Integration.
- Search for GitLab Issues and select it.
- Add an optional integration name and description.
- Choose All Projects or Selected Projects.
Project scope controls where the GitLab connection is available in Hawzu.
Enter Credentials
Section titled “Enter Credentials”Enter the GitLab instance URL and personal access token.
Use Test Connection before continuing. If the test fails, check the instance URL, token value, and GitLab project access.
Configure Issue Creation
Section titled “Configure Issue Creation”After a successful connection, choose the GitLab defaults used when Hawzu creates external issues from defects:
- Default GitLab Project
- Default Labels, when available
The project controls where new GitLab issues are created. Labels can help classify issues as they enter GitLab.
Save and Use
Section titled “Save and Use”Save is available after the connection succeeds and the required GitLab project is selected.
After saving, GitLab Issues appears in the Integrations table with its status, project scope, and configuration details. Users with access can create GitLab issues from Hawzu defects and link existing GitLab issues.
