Common questions
Can Knit build “Broadcast deployment status to team channels” between Symphony and GitLab?
Yes — describe it in the box above and Knit's Integrations Agent researches Symphony and GitLab's public API docs (or your own uploaded docs) and builds a working workflow, whether or not either app already has a pre-built connector.
How long does it take to build?
Minutes to a first working version, not weeks — you test it against real data before it goes anywhere near production.
Can developers report issues without leaving their chat application?
Yes, when a message or file is shared in Symphony, you can automatically create a new tracking issue in GitLab.
How do engineering teams receive deployment updates in real time?
Whenever a deployment is tracked in GitLab, an automated notification message is sent to a specified channel in Symphony.
