# GitLab Issues

*📋 Setting up automated task creation in GitLab Issues*

Aikido can connect to GitLab so that you can create issues for security findings found through Aikido. For each of the findings in the 'Feed' of Aikido, a GitLab issue can be created, and linked.

You will be able to follow along in the Feed, to whom the ticket is assigned.

### 1. Set up integration <a href="#id-1-set-up-integration" id="id-1-set-up-integration"></a>

Go to <https://app.aikido.dev/settings/integrations> and scroll down to the 'Task trackers' section.

### 2. Create a GitLab issue for a finding, inside Aikido <a href="#id-2-create-a-gitlab-issue-for-a-finding-inside-aikido" id="id-2-create-a-gitlab-issue-for-a-finding-inside-aikido"></a>

Go to the [Feed](https://app.aikido.dev/queue), and go to the security finding of choice. In the column 'Assignee', you will find the ability to assign a GitLab Issue to someone.

![Assign a new task owner by clicking the plus icon.](https://3149773201-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FyKbzcQGrx7UtrG0nPZZ7%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-1c4a80c473662a23eb9f82a9c9f060066c532a94%2Fucarecdn-cd3756a0-ebf2-4903-9d80-6f172e7d880d.png?alt=media)

When you click on it, a popup will open.

![Task creation form for assigning and summarizing a security fix in GitLab.](https://3149773201-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FyKbzcQGrx7UtrG0nPZZ7%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-c7540129cf2ae91a67956a6ec43d8047bcac2d9f%2Fucarecdn-2d25f8b3-11d3-4b4a-b25f-100095e4966a.png?alt=media)

When creating the Issue Task, this will be made clear in the UI of Aikido
