Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new record created in fauna or new commit pushed in gitlab. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: create issue in gitlab. Map the data fields between Fauna and GitLab so the right information lands in the right place.
Test and activate
