How does the integration between AWS Cognito and GitLab work in WEXTL?
WEXTL exposes actions and triggers for AWS Cognito and GitLab that help you connect apps and automate repetitive tasks [1]. A trigger is an event that happens, an action — a step that performs when the event has occurred.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about connecting AWS Cognito and GitLab.
Connect your AWS Cognito and GitLab accounts once, pick a trigger in one app and an action in the other, then map the fields so data flows automatically between them. [3]
Example: when GitLab's "Watch Commits" fires, WEXTL can "Add Custom Attributes" in AWS Cognito. AWS Cognito has 133 actions (including Add Custom Attributes, Add User Pool Client Secret, and Admin Add User To Group); GitLab has 144 actions (including Add Group Member, Add Project Member, and Approve Merge Request). Add filters and transforms between steps when you need them. [1]
Yes — the integration works in both directions. Use each app's triggers to start a workflow and the other app's actions to update it. [2]
No. AWS Cognito-to-GitLab automations are built visually on the canvas. You can optionally add custom JavaScript with Functions when you need advanced logic. [4]
Yes. Trigger-based automations start the moment AWS Cognito (or GitLab) fires a new event — webhook-backed apps run within seconds, and polling-only apps re-check on a schedule you control. [7]
A first automation typically takes 5–10 minutes: connect each app's credential once, drop a trigger + action onto the canvas, map the fields, and turn the workflow on.
You can build your AWS Cognito + GitLab automation on a 3-day trial with every feature unlocked. Cancel anytime. For your protection, a small deposit is charged to your card when your trial starts. It counts toward your first payment and is non-refundable. [8]
