How to connect Microsoft SharePoint Online and GitLab
Create a New Scenario to Connect Microsoft SharePoint Online and GitLab
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 Microsoft SharePoint Online, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Microsoft SharePoint Online or GitLab will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Microsoft SharePoint Online or GitLab, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Microsoft SharePoint Online, GitLab, 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 Microsoft SharePoint Online and GitLab integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Microsoft SharePoint Online and GitLab (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Microsoft SharePoint Online and GitLab
Microsoft SharePoint Online + GitLab + Microsoft Teams: When a document is updated in SharePoint, a notification is sent to a specific channel in Teams, linking to the GitLab project. This keeps team members informed about document changes and their relationship to the code.
GitLab + Microsoft SharePoint Online + Jira: When a new issue is created in GitLab, a task is created in Jira and relevant documentation from SharePoint is attached to the Jira task. This ensures that new issues are tracked in Jira and have the necessary documentation attached.
