# AutoFix for Gitlab Cloud with Personal Access Token

> When the installation of the Gitlab Autofix integration does not work via the OAuth flow, you can also configure it to work with a Personal Access Token (PAT).

### Go to PAT management page in Aikido <a href="#go-to-pat-management-page-in-aikido" id="go-to-pat-management-page-in-aikido"></a>

**First**, go to the PAT management page in Aikdo, which can be [found here](https://app.aikido.dev/settings/integrations/gitlab/autofix/personal-access-token).
