How to connect GitLab and Shippo
Create a New Scenario to Connect GitLab and Shippo
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.
Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a GitLab, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, GitLab or Shippo will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find GitLab or Shippo, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
Add the GitLab Node
Select the GitLab node from the app selection panel on the right.

Authenticate Shippo
Now, click the Shippo node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Shippo settings. Authentication allows you to use Shippo through Latenode.
Configure the GitLab and Shippo Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the GitLab and Shippo Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring GitLab, Shippo, 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 Shippo integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between GitLab and Shippo (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 Shippo
GitLab + Shippo + Slack: When a new tag is created in GitLab (indicating a release or deployment), create an order in Shippo to send swag, then notify the team in a Slack channel.
GitLab + Shippo + Google Sheets: When a new job event occurs in GitLab (e.g., a build or test run associated with a milestone), create an order in Shippo. Then update a Google Sheet with shipping cost data associated with the GitLab project milestones.
