Keep E-mail and GitLab updated automatically.
This connector fixes that, and we build it on request: what happens in E-mail lands in GitLab by itself, in the shape GitLab expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.
What this connector takes off your hands
-
Today you create the task or the row yourself, or you just remember it and that fails eventually.
What E-mail to GitLab saves you
- Turn every message arriving via E-mail into a GitLab task automatically.
What travels across the link
Everything this connector moves between E-mail and GitLab, and how often.
-
Tasks
to GitLab automaticallyThis lands in GitLab as a task in the list or project you choose, so follow-up does not depend on someone remembering.
-
Rows
to GitLab automaticallyThis arrives in GitLab as a new row, so your overview stays complete without you retyping anything.
What each side expects
E-mail and GitLab do not describe the world the same way. This is what has to line up.
GitLab
A task list or table wants to know where something belongs, and only stays usable with a fixed layout.

We agree what should travel

Common questions
Can you connect E-mail to GitLab?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of E-mail and GitLab, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
Which GitLab project or list do the tasks land in?
The project or list you choose. That keeps everything in one place rather than scattered, and follow-up does not depend on someone remembering.
Can I decide what goes into the GitLab task or row?
Yes. When setting it up you pick which details from E-mail come along, so a task or row in GitLab has just enough context.
What does connecting E-mail and GitLab cost?
You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.
How often does E-mail sync with GitLab?
That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.
What if E-mail or GitLab is briefly unavailable?
Nothing gets lost. Schakel retries later and the log shows exactly what happened, so at most you notice something coming through a little later.
How do I connect E-mail to GitLab?
You give Schakel access to E-mail and GitLab once and pick what should travel. We set it up together with you, so no technical knowledge is needed, and after that it runs by itself.
Is my E-mail data safe in this connector?
Your credentials are stored encrypted and we only process what is needed to update GitLab. We sell nothing on and comply with the GDPR.
Missing something you need?
Tell us what E-mail and GitLab should do for you. If it is not in here yet, that is usually because nobody has asked. We build on request and we reply within 24 hours.
