How to connect GitLab to Google Sheets
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active GitLab account with repository access
- An active Google Sheets account
- A free Arahi AI account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
Create your Arahi AI account
Sign up at app.arahi.ai — it's free and takes 30 seconds. No credit card required. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
Authenticate GitLab
Click "Add Connection" and select GitLab from the app directory. You'll be redirected to GitLab's authorization page. Grant Arahi access to your repositories, issues, and project data. You control which repos and projects the integration can access.
Authenticate Google Sheets
Same process for Google Sheets. Click "Add Connection," select Google Sheets, and authorize access. Grant Arahi access to your workspaces, databases, pages, and tasks. You select which workspaces the integration can read and write to.
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new commit pushed in gitlab or new item created in google sheets. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: create item in google sheets. Map the data fields between GitLab and Google Sheets so the right information lands in the right place.
Test and activate
Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between GitLab and Google Sheets. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — Arahi handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about connecting GitLab and Google Sheets.
How do I connect GitLab to Google Sheets?
Sign up for a free Arahi AI account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both GitLab and Google Sheets via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing developer tools events to productivity actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.
What can I automate between GitLab and Google Sheets?
Popular automations include: create Google Sheets tasks from GitLab issues, sync GitLab PR statuses to Google Sheets items, close Google Sheets tasks when GitLab issues resolve, and update Google Sheets sprint boards from GitLab milestones. Labels and priority fields map automatically.
Is the GitLab and Google Sheets integration free?
Arahi AI includes 100 free actions per month on the Starter plan — enough for most small teams. If your GitLab-to-Google Sheets workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $29/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my GitLab data secure when connected to Google Sheets?
Yes. Arahi uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your GitLab or Google Sheets passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your developer tools data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your Arahi dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between GitLab and Google Sheets?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either GitLab or Google Sheets. For example, create a workflow where GitLab events update Google Sheets, and a separate one where Google Sheets changes sync back to GitLab. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect GitLab and Google Sheets?
No coding is required. Arahi's visual workflow builder lets you configure triggers, actions, and field mapping with clicks. If you can use GitLab and Google Sheets, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
