How to setup GitLab and Anthropic Claude in 5 easy steps
Get your access credentials from the app
Log into the application you want to connect (like Anthropic Claude or GitLab) and navigate to the settings area where security credentials are managed. Find the section for API keys or applications—in Anthropic Claude, click the key icon in the bottom-left corner; in GitLab, click your avatar and select Edit profile, then find Applications. Generate new credentials by clicking the appropriate button and give them a recognizable name so you can identify them later.
Copy and save your credentials safely
After creating your credentials, you'll see important information like an API Key, Client ID, or Client Secret displayed on screen. Copy these values immediately and store them in a safe place, such as a password manager, because some applications won't show them again for security reasons. Make sure to save everything before closing the window to avoid having to regenerate new credentials.
Open your Make scenario and add the module
Log into your Make account and open the scenario where you want to add the connection. Add the module for the specific application you're connecting, such as Anthropic Claude or GitLab. When you add the module, you'll see an option to create a new connection—click this button to begin setting up the connection between Make and your chosen application.
Enter your credentials into Make
In the connection setup window that appears in Make, paste the credentials you copied earlier into the appropriate fields—for Anthropic Claude, this will be your API Key; for GitLab, you'll need both the Client ID and Client Secret. Optionally, give your connection a descriptive name like 'My Work GitLab' to help you identify it later, especially if you plan to create multiple connections. Be careful to paste the values without any extra spaces or characters.
Save and start automating
Click the Save button to store your connection information in Make. You may be redirected to confirm access or authenticate your account one more time as a security measure. Once your connection is successfully created, it will be saved and available for use in future scenarios as well, allowing you to automate tasks between Make and your connected applications without setting it up again.

Make handles all the technical complexity of API connections and data formatting, allowing you to create powerful AI-enhanced development workflows in minutes, not hours.
A scenario represents a workflow or a project of your own creation, and it is made up of a series of modules that automate apps and services. Creating a scenario allows you to transfer and transform data between apps and services via these modules to automate anything and improve the way you work.
Modules are the main building blocks of automation in Make. Modules represent actions that Make performs with an app, like creating, updating, or deleting data.
How it works
Traditional no-code iPaaS platforms are linear and non-intuitive. Make allows you to visually create, build, and automate without limits.
