How to connect GitLab and WordPress.com
Create a New Scenario to Connect GitLab and WordPress.com
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 WordPress.com will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find GitLab or WordPress.com, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Depending on your setup, data should flow between GitLab and WordPress.com (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
