Asana and GitLab: how to connect your workflow

The goal: code and tasks in one place

If your team plans in Asana and ships in GitLab, you know the friction. Progress happens in merge requests and commits, but the people tracking that work are looking at Asana. Keeping both in sync by hand is slow and easy to forget.

The fix is to make GitLab activity surface on the Asana task it belongs to, so a task reference in a commit or merge request turns into visible progress inside Asana.

What Astogi supports today

Astogi's Git commit tracking integration connects GitHub and Bitbucket to Asana out of the box. When a commit message includes an Asana task number, the commit is posted to the matching task.

GitLab is not one of the natively supported providers yet. We would rather be straight about that than pretend otherwise. If GitLab is central to how your team works, there is still a clear path forward.

Getting a GitLab connection built

We build custom Asana integrations around specific workflows, and connecting Asana to GitLab is exactly the kind of thing we can scope. Tell us how your team uses GitLab, which events matter (commits, merge requests, pipelines) and where they should land in Asana, and we will quote a solution.

In the meantime, automatic task numbering is worth setting up regardless, because a clean task number is what any commit-to-task link relies on.

Where to start

• Set up automatic task numbering so every task has a short ID to reference.
• If you also use GitHub or Bitbucket, turn on Git commit tracking today.
• For GitLab specifically, get in touch on the custom integration page.
