Frequently asked questions
What can I automate with GitLab on Definable?
Anything GitLab exposes through its API. Common developer tools workflows on Definable include triage issues, review pull requests, monitor builds. Personas can call any of the 58 GitLab tools directly, then chain the result into another integration without you writing code.
How does GitLab authentication work?
GitLab uses OAUTH2 on Definable. You connect once from the integrations page, scoped to the permissions you choose, and from then on any persona that has the integration enabled can act on your behalf. Tokens are encrypted at rest and rotated automatically.
Is the GitLab integration included in my Definable plan?
Yes — every Definable plan, including Starter, includes access to all 58 GitLab tools. You only need a separate GitLab subscription if GitLab itself charges per seat or per API call.
Is using GitLab through Definable secure?
Every call from a persona to GitLab is logged with the user, persona, prompt, and response. Tokens never leave Definable's secrets vault, scopes are configurable per persona, and you can revoke access at any time from the integration page.
How do I get started with GitLab on Definable?
Sign up for Definable, open the integrations page, find GitLab, and connect via OAuth or API key. You can immediately attach GitLab to any persona and start running workflows. The free Starter plan includes 5,000 credits/month.
