Frequently Asked Questions about Azure DevOps + GitLab integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Azure DevOps and GitLab

Can we automatically trigger a GitLab pipeline from an Azure DevOps build?

Yes, you can configure the integration to automatically trigger a GitLab pipeline after a successful Azure DevOps build. This can be achieved by setting up specific triggers using our automation workflows that listen for build completion events in Azure DevOps and then initiate the respective pipeline in GitLab.

Is it possible to sync issues between Azure DevOps and GitLab?

We support syncing issues between Azure DevOps and GitLab. This ensures that when an issue is created or updated in one platform, the corresponding action is reflected in the other system. Automation rules can be set up to handle specific fields and synchronization criteria.

How do we manage user permissions across both platforms during integration?

User permissions need to be managed separately within each platform, as our integration focuses on facilitating workflows rather than governing access controls. You'll need to ensure users have appropriate permissions in both Azure DevOps and GitLab for seamless operations.

What happens if one of the services goes down during a triggered event?

Our system is designed with fallback mechanisms to handle such scenarios. If either Azure DevOps or GitLab encounters downtime during a triggered event, actions are queued and retried once service availability is restored, ensuring continuity without data loss.

Can I restrict actions based on branch names or tags in this integration?

Yes, you can define conditions based on branch names or tags when setting up triggers between Azure DevOps and GitLab. This allows you to restrict actions such as deployments or tests only on specified branches or tagged commits.

Are deployment environments from Azure DevOps supported when integrating with GitLab?

While our integration facilitates many cross-platform actions, deployment environments configured in Azure DevOps remain independent. However, you can create corresponding environments within GitLab and manage transitions using custom scripts or further integrations.

How do we handle updates to YAML files involved in CI/CD processes across both platforms?

For handling YAML files involved in CI/CD processes, ensure that any updates follow the syntax requirements of each platform's pipeline configurations. Changes should be tested locally before committing them across repositories linked between Azure DevOps and GitLab.
