Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring GitLab, Microsoft Power BI, 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 β€œRun once” and triggering an event to check if the GitLab and Microsoft Power BI integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between GitLab and Microsoft Power BI (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 Microsoft Power BI
