How teams connect Confluence and GitLab

Pick the setup closest to yours. Each one turns Confluence pages into issues in the GitLab project you connect.

  • Pages
    Items sync both ways between Confluence and GitLab
    Issues

    Turn spec pages into engineering work

    When a page is found in Confluence, create a matching issue in GitLab and keep it updated.

    Title and description follow each edit to the Confluence spec page, so engineers pick up the GitLab issue with the full spec already in it.

  • Pages

    Issues

    Plan epics from roadmap pages

    When a page is found in Confluence, create a matching issue in GitLab and keep it updated.

    The title follows every rename of the roadmap page, so engineering's GitLab issues keep the same wording as the plan the wider team reads in Confluence.

    Log bugs from test and QA pages

    When a page is found in Confluence, create a matching issue in GitLab and keep it updated.

    The description brings each QA page's test notes into a GitLab issue, so engineers fix the bug from their project without hunting through Confluence.

Supported GitLab versions

Real-time data sync with full control, no coding required

Custom sync rules

Use intuitive rules (conditions or filters) to determine exactly what data to sync, such as page status, assignee, labels, and more.

Deep field configurability

Configure your data flow field by field. Map any native or custom fields and define flow direction for each.

Full relationship support

Sync hierarchies and related items across tools, keeping linked objects, dependencies, and parent-child relationships fully intact.

Historical data sync

Your sync doesn't rely on live triggers. Unito rules apply to any object in your tools and can also include historical data.

Comment & attachment support

Sync comments across tools with control over private and public visibility, and sync attachments for full visibility.

Live data transformation

Transform data in real time with transformers to combine fields, convert HTML to text, extract values, or apply custom string logic through JSON settings.

Enterprise-grade sync without the complexity

Cross-platform integration at scale usually takes weeks or months to deploy. Unito delivers reliable sync between Confluence and GitLab with a self-serve setup and field-level configurability.

Abstracted complexity

Connect Confluence and GitLab with an intuitive, out-of-the-box solution that allows for full configurability of your integration. Unito doesn't require custom logic, scripting, or dev-led setup.
Abstracted complexity

Lower total cost of ownership

Most iPaaS tools drive up cost with long rollouts and heavy upkeep. Unito lowers TCO with fast time to value, and no specialized headcount to maintain or scale integrations.
Lower total cost of ownership

Scalability and resilience

Maintain real-time data consistency across datasets of any size. Unito's auto-scaling, intelligent API throttling and automatic recovery ensure uptime even during peak loads and tool downtimes.
