# 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.

![GitLab integration for tracking and managing security issues; connect to create GitLab issues.](/files/qAxCbJsSNDR4jTMLYNxZ)

Click on 'Connect'

![GitLab authorization prompt for issue-tracking, awaiting user permission to proceed.](/files/I3HbgedK2aeG0AvU9lE4)

Click on 'Authorize GitLab'

![Authorization prompt for Aikido Issues to access GitLab user's API and account data.](/files/75jzlBZ8j7Tlevgaepnm)

And select a 'Group' for which you want to activate the integration.

Click 'Save' and you're connected.

### 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.](/files/7mrVyVX36Oo5SDzM7xPh)

When you click on it, a popup will open.

![Task creation form for assigning and summarizing a security fix in GitLab.](/files/Vz8afWCMfuCNhWZ8XSYV)

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

![Open task assigned to user "roelanddel" displayed in a project management dashboard.](/files/21hmAPgKpiooyDsYd66l)

You're done!
