Can CircleCI trigger actions in GitLab, and GitLab in CircleCI?

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.

Do I need to write code to integrate CircleCI and GitLab?

No. CircleCI-to-GitLab automations are built visually on the canvas. You can optionally add custom JavaScript with Functions when you need advanced logic.

CircleCI + GitLab Integration

Connect CircleCI and GitLab to automate developer tools work — trigger in one app, run actions in the other, wired in minutes.

Example: when CircleCI's "Watch Workflow & Job Events" fires, WEXTL can "Add Group Member" in GitLab. CircleCI has 1 trigger (including Watch Workflow & Job Events); GitLab has 144 actions (including Add Group Member, Add Project Member, and Approve Merge Request).
