How teams connect GitLab and Teamwork

Pick the setup closest to yours. Each one pairs Teamwork tasks with issues in the GitLab project you connect.

  • Issues
    Items sync both ways between GitLab and Teamwork
    Tasks

    Send bugs from project teams to engineering

    When a task is found in Teamwork, create a matching issue in GitLab and keep them in sync.

    Status and description sync both ways, so engineers fix from the bug report the project team wrote in Teamwork and the team sees when the GitLab issue closes.

  • Issues
    Items sync both ways between GitLab and Teamwork
    Tasks

    Show dev progress to project managers

    When an issue is found in GitLab, create a matching task in Teamwork and keep them in sync.

    Status and due dates update on Teamwork tasks as engineers plan and close GitLab issues, so project managers spot late deliveries in the project they plan in.

  • Issues
    Items sync both ways between GitLab and Teamwork
    Tasks

    Run shared work across both teams

    When an issue is found in GitLab or a task in Teamwork, create a matching one in the other tool and keep them in sync.

    Due dates and descriptions sync both ways, so a scope change or a moved deadline in Teamwork or GitLab reaches the other team in the tool they work in.

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 task 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 Teamwork and GitLab with a self-serve setup and field-level configurability.

Abstracted complexity

Connect Teamwork 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.

Frequently asked questions about GitLab and Teamwork

Can a new Teamwork task automatically create a GitLab issue?

Yes. Unito’s two-way sync can create a GitLab issue whenever a matching Teamwork task appears, based on the rules you set. As the issue progresses, changes sync back to the Teamwork task automatically.

Do comments stay private or get exposed across both tools?

You control comment visibility. Unito syncs comments between Teamwork and GitLab and lets you keep notes private or share them publicly, so internal discussion stays internal when you want it to.

Can Unito sync custom fields between Teamwork and GitLab?

Yes. Unito supports custom-field mapping wherever a tool’s API exposes the field. You map native or custom fields between Teamwork and GitLab and set the flow direction for each.

Who maintains the integration once it is live?

You do, with no code. Unito is built for non-technical owners, so a project lead can set up, adjust, and maintain the Teamwork-GitLab sync without engineering support or scripting.
