Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring GitLab, Close CRM, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the GitLab and Close CRM integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between GitLab and Close CRM (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect GitLab and Close CRM
GitLab + Close CRM + Slack: When a new commit is made in GitLab, the system searches for a related lead in Close CRM. If a lead is found, a notification is sent to a designated Slack channel with details about the commit and the associated lead.
Close CRM + GitLab + Jira: When a lead's status is changed in Close CRM, the system creates a new issue in Jira. The Jira issue is then linked to a new branch in GitLab to track code changes related to the closed deal.
