Engineering in GitLab, the team elsewhere
Product and design keep working in Trello, Jira, or Asana while engineering tracks the same work as GitLab issues. Status, assignees, and comments stay aligned.
Two-way sync for GitLab issues
Keep GitLab issues linked with Trello, Jira, GitHub, Asana, Monday, Linear, and Google Sheets. Update either side and the other follows — no copying between tools.

Sync your way — no code, no maintenance
Board Genius keeps your GitLab project in step with the other board, automatically. Change one, the other follows.
True two-way sync
Edits flow in both directions. Update an issue in GitLab and the linked card or ticket updates. Change status on the other side and the GitLab issue follows. No manual copies, no stale boards.
No code, setup in minutes
Connect your GitLab account, pick a project, and choose the board to sync. No scripts, webhooks, or custom integrations to maintain.
Stay in control
Use labels and keywords to filter exactly which issues sync. Map GitLab open/closed to the other tool's lists or statuses. Run one-way for visibility or two-way so both teams can update the work.
What GitLab syncs
One GitLab issue becomes one card, ticket, or row on the other side. You choose which fields stay linked.
GitLab issue- Title
- Description
- Labels
- Comments
- Milestone
- Open/Closed
Sync direction is configurable — choose one-way or two-way. GitLab status is open/closed, not workflow states. GitLab has no due date or priority.
Built for the work your team actually does
Engineering can stay in GitLab. Everyone else can stay in the tool they already use.
GitLab alongside Jira or GitHub
Connect a GitLab project to a Jira project or GitHub repo. New issues and updates copy across, including labels and comments.
A spreadsheet view of GitLab
Sync a GitLab project to Google Sheets when stakeholders want a row per issue. The sheet stays current without another export.
Up and running in three steps
Connect GitLab, pick a project, and sync starts — no scripts or webhooks.
1
Connect GitLab
Sign up for Board Genius and authorize your GitLab account. You use your own login — no GitLab admin access required.
2
Pick a project and a board
Choose the GitLab project to sync and the Trello board, Jira project, GitHub repo, or other board on the other side.
3
Sync starts automatically
Issues stay linked from that point on. Set filters and status mappings whenever you need to adjust what syncs.
Frequently asked questions
What gets synced from GitLab?
Each GitLab issue maps to one card, ticket, or row on the other side. Synced fields include title, description, labels, comments, milestone, and open/closed. GitLab has no due date or priority, and status is open/closed rather than workflow states. You control which fields are mapped and whether data flows one way or both ways.
Which tools can GitLab sync with?
GitLab syncs with Trello, Jira, GitHub, Asana, Monday, Linear, and Google Sheets. You connect a GitLab project to one board on the other side.
Do I need to be a GitLab admin?
No. You authorize Board Genius with your own GitLab account and pick a project you can access. GitLab admin permissions are not required.
How is this different from a Zapier export?
Zapier fires once when a trigger happens and pushes data one way. Board Genius keeps issues linked — update a GitLab issue and the other side updates; change status on the other tool and the GitLab issue updates. It's a maintained connection, not a one-time push.
Can existing GitLab issues sync, or only new ones?
Both. When you first connect a project, existing issues that match your filters sync across. After that, new issues and updates are picked up automatically.
Ready to sync GitLab?
