Autopilot allows new-gen project management to automatically update the status of tasks based on events in source control software like GitHub and GitLab.
Note: Autopilot is only available for software projects in the new-gen project management.
If you are using GitHub or GitLab, then your developers don't have to worry about constantly update task status after something gets done.
Example scenarios:
1\. Automatically move task status to "In Progress" when developers commit code for a task
2\. Automatically move task status to "In Review" when developers raise a pull or merge request
3\. Automatically move task status to "Ready to test" when a pull request is merged
Steps to enable workflow autopilot
1\. Configure Github or GitLab integration with the new-gen project management.
2\. Go to Project > More > Settings
3\. Select "Autopilot"
4\. Click on the gear icon on Github to configure > Enable events you want the new-gen project management to listen and configure statuses.
Note: For GitLab as well you can use the GitHub configuration inside Autopilot.
5. Important: After configuring the statuses in autopilot, make sure that all your workflows actually allow these status movements.
Note: Use the same steps if you are using GitLab as well.
