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