    What Volty does with GitLab

    GitLab holds a team's code, issues, merge requests and milestones. Volty connects to GitLab with one sign-in. It can read issues and merge requests in the projects the sign-in can see, so a client asking whether their fix is live hears where it stands, and the delivery team can ask Volty what is left in a milestone.

    • Is the fix in

      Volty reads the merge request and its milestone before it answers.

    • Milestones at a glance

      Colleagues ask Volty what is still open for a release.

    • Requests become issues

      A client's request can become an issue in their project.

    • Approval on every write

      Writes start Off, and each can be set to wait for a colleague.

    As an automation

    Describe it to Volty in a sentence; it drafts the automation and an admin turns it on.

    How Volty connects to GitLab

    An admin signs in to GitLab from the Sources page. The sign-in decides which projects Volty can see, and the tool switches decide what it may do.

    1. 01

      Sign in to GitLab

      With the account whose projects Volty should see.

    2. 02

      Turn on the reads

      Issues, merge requests and milestones.

    3. 03

      Choose the writes

      Create issue and comment start Off.

    The tools Volty gets

    Each one is a switch on the Sources page in Volty.

    • Search issuesReads
    • Read merge requestsReads
    • Read milestonesReads
    • Create issueChanges
    • Comment on issueChanges

    Reading tools can be turned on straight away. Anything that changes GitLab starts Off, and once on it can be set to check with staff, so each change waits for a colleague.

    Common questions

    Can Volty change records in GitLab?

    Only when an admin allows it. Every tool has its own switch: tools that only read can be turned on, and tools that change a record start Off. A tool that is on can be set to check with staff, so each change waits for a colleague to approve it.

    How much does it cost to connect GitLab with Volty?

    Every Volty plan includes seats, active contacts and AI credits and starts with a free 7-day trial, and the plan prices are on voltade.com/pricing. Meta bills message charges separately for WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger.
