How do I create a GitLab issue?

Short answer: You can create gitlab issue in GitLab by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the GitLab Create GitLab Issue action to a workflow, map its 7 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
