Getting Started with GitLab Integration

1. Simple Authentication: Connect n8n to GitLab using API tokens or OAuth

2. Drag-and-Drop Configuration: Build workflows through n8n's intuitive interface without complex coding

3. Event Triggers: Create workflows that automatically run when specific GitLab events occur

4. Extensive Actions: Choose from a comprehensive set of GitLab operations

5. Custom API Access: Extend functionality using the HTTP Request node for advanced cases

Implementation Timeline: Most organizations can set up their first automated GitLab workflow in less than an hour, with additional sophistication added incrementally as needs evolve.
