Dispatch Trello cards into GitLab without retyping work

Plan and prioritize on Trello boards, then dispatch cards straight into GitLab as issues for your developers to action. As engineers update issues, commits, and merge requests, the matching Trello cards stay current in real time.

Hand off work without manual copying

Turn Trello cards into GitLab issues automatically, so developers pick up fully scoped work without anyone rekeying details between the two tools.

Keep both sides in sync as work moves

Status changes, assignees, labels, and due dates flow two-way between Trello cards and GitLab issues, so planners and engineers always see the same state.

Control exactly what crosses over

Rules and field mapping let you decide which Trello lists dispatch to GitLab, which fields sync, and in which direction, so each side keeps only the details it needs.

Frequently asked questions about GitLab and Trello

Can a Trello card automatically create a GitLab issue?

Yes. With Unito’s two-way sync, a Trello card that meets your rules automatically creates a matching GitLab issue. Updates then flow both ways, so the card and issue stay aligned without manual copying.

Do comments stay visible across Trello and GitLab?

Yes. Unito syncs comments between Trello and GitLab and gives you control over private and public visibility, so each team sees the notes that matter while sensitive details stay internal.

Can I sync custom fields between the two tools?

Yes. Unito maps native and custom fields supported through each tool’s API, and you set the flow direction per field, so the right data lands on each Trello card and GitLab issue.

Who maintains the integration once it's live?

You do, with no code. Unito is built for non-technical owners: you create and adjust rules, mappings, and filters yourself, so maintaining the Trello-GitLab sync never needs engineering time.
