SOC 2 Type 2 How teams connect GitLab and Trello
Pick the setup closest to yours. Each one links cards on your Trello boards to issues in a GitLab project.
-
Issues
Items sync both ways between GitLab and Trello
Cards
Send bugs from project teams to engineering
When a card is found in Trello, create a matching issue in GitLab and keep them in sync.
Comments and description sync both ways, so whoever logged the bug on a Trello card reads engineering's replies there while the fix moves through GitLab.
