Overview of Triage Bot implementation options in GitLab
A Triage Bot is an automation used to classify, label, close inactive items, and respond to events in issues and merge requests. In GitLab, this can be implemented via:
- Native Rules: Using issue/MR templates, labels, and quick actions.
- GitLab Bots: Using GitLab Auto DevOps or custom comments via webhooks/API.
- GitLab CI + Scripts: Creating CI jobs that interact with the GitLab API to label, close, or assign items.
