Dispatch planned work from Smartsheet into GitLab

Your team plans and prioritizes in Smartsheet, but engineers build in GitLab. Unito turns rows from your sheets into GitLab issues automatically, then syncs status, assignees, and comments both ways so plans and code stay aligned as work develops.

Hand off rows as GitLab issues

When a row is ready in Smartsheet, Unito creates a matching GitLab issue in the right repository, so engineers pick up work without manual copying.

Keep both sides in sync

As issues move through merge requests and commits in GitLab, status, assignees, and field updates flow back to your Smartsheet rows in real time, with no double entry.

Plan and build without status meetings

Planners track delivery directly in Smartsheet while engineers stay in GitLab. Bidirectional sync keeps comments and progress current on both sides, so nobody chases updates across tools.
