Caddi

GitLab is a Caddi-managed connector. Unlike the GitHub integration, there is no OAuth application to register and nothing for an administrator to configure — each person signs in to GitLab and approves Caddi.

This connector signs in to GitLab.com. For other GitLab deployments, contact your Caddi account team.

- A Caddi account

In Caddi, open Settings, then Integrations, and go to the My Connections tab.

Find GitLab and click Connect +.

Review the access GitLab lists on the authorization screen and click Authorize.

You'll be returned to Caddi with the connection active.

5. You'll be returned to Caddi with the connection active.

Caddi inherits your GitLab permissions, exactly. The connection acts as you, so it can reach the projects you can reach and nothing more. If a loop needs a project you have no access to, the fix is a GitLab membership change, not a Caddi one.

Scopes are requested at sign-in, not configured here. GitLab shows the full list on the authorization screen — read it there before approving.

Access tokens last two hours and are renewed in the background. GitLab rotates the refresh token on every use, so the connection continues to renew without action from you.

Each person connects their own GitLab account.

Your GitLab account cannot see it either. Check your membership and role on the project in GitLab.

Either the scopes you approved at sign-in were narrower than Caddi requested, or your GitLab role on that project is read-only. Reconnect to re-approve, and confirm your project role.

The connection broke after a long idle period

GitLab rotates refresh tokens on every use and invalidates the previous one, so an interrupted renewal can leave the connection unusable. Disconnect and connect again.

{appName} in 60 seconds

This prototype demo is aware that you are reading “{title}”. It can point you back to the current article, but a production article-aware Fin contract is still follow-up work.

Prototype article-aware answer

Because you already asked about invitations, this prototype demo can add the follow-up: use the role selector before sending each invite to limit access to the teammate responsibilities.

Prototype role-limiting follow-up

This prototype demo suggests starting with your workspace profile, inviting the team members who need access, and then connecting the integrations you use.

Prototype getting-started answer

In this prototype demo, integrations are configured from workspace settings. Choose the integration, connect the account, and review the enabled permissions.

Prototype integrations answer

In this prototype demo, invite teammates from workspace settings, then choose the access each teammate needs before sending the invitation.

Prototype invite-team answer

This prototype demo does not have a scripted answer for that question yet. Try asking how to invite your team or open a source article. No production Fin API was called.

Prototype answer unavailable

I’ve got this page open. Ask me anything about it and I’ll answer from the docs.
