How feedback gets into GitLab

Point-and-click capture

Users point at the bug — you get an issue

A user clicks the Feedback button, marks what’s broken, and adds a short note. Ybug turns it into a GitLab issue with the visual context already included. No “which page was this?” back-and-forth.

  • In-page widget — no login or plugin for the reporter
  • Arrows, boxes, comments, and free draw for clear bug reports
  • Works on production, staging, and password-protected sites
Routing & triage

Send reports to the right GitLab project

Pick the GitLab project and optional default assignee for each Ybug project. Use GitLab.com or a self-managed GitLab instance, then choose whether reports are forwarded automatically or only after review.

  • Works with GitLab.com and self-managed GitLab
  • Choose the target project and optional assignee
  • Auto-create issues, or forward selected reports manually

Console summary included

Give developers the clue trail

Ybug can capture JavaScript console activity and include a summary in the issue, with a link back to the full report. Your developers can see whether the visual bug came with errors, warnings, or noisy browser output.

  • Console error and warning summary when enabled
  • Full report stays one click away in Ybug
  • Choose which fields get forwarded per project

Full context, every issue

Every GitLab issue starts with the useful details

The issue description can include the reporter’s feedback, screenshot, page URL, browser, OS, viewport, attachments, video link, and a link back to the full Ybug report.

  • Feedback and screenshot in the GitLab issue description
  • Browser, OS, URL, screen, and viewport details when enabled
  • Long feedback and user data are trimmed to fit GitLab cleanly

Why teams use
Ybug with GitLab

Keep engineering work in GitLab while Ybug handles the parts that usually disappear: the screenshot, the page, the browser, and the messy little details.

Issues without the copy-paste

Ybug creates structured GitLab issues from visual reports, so your team isn’t rebuilding context from emails and chat screenshots.

Context travels with the issue

Each issue can include the URL, browser, OS, viewport, reporter details, custom fields, attachments, and links back to Ybug.

Console clues included

When JavaScript errors are part of the story, Ybug can include a console summary and point developers back to the full report.

GitLab.com or self-managed

Use Ybug with hosted GitLab or your own GitLab instance, without changing how your team triages issues.

Frequently asked questions

What does Ybug create in GitLab?

Ybug creates a GitLab issue in the project you choose. The issue description can include the feedback, screenshot image, URL, browser context, console summary, attachments, video link, and Ybug report link.

Does this work with self-managed GitLab?

Yes. Ybug supports GitLab.com and self-managed GitLab instances when the integration is configured with the right domain and OAuth application details.

Can I choose the project and assignee?

Yes. You choose the GitLab project and can set an optional default assignee in the integration settings.

Can I review reports before creating GitLab issues?

Yes. You can create GitLab issues automatically, or forward selected reports manually after reviewing them in Ybug.

Do GitLab issue updates sync back to Ybug?

Not right now. Ybug sends reports to GitLab and stores the created issue link, but GitLab status changes, comments, and edits don’t sync back into Ybug.

Does Ybug add GitLab labels or milestones?

No. The current GitLab integration creates issues and supports an optional assignee, custom title format, self-managed GitLab, and configurable report details. Labels and milestones aren’t part of the current setup.

Can our users submit feedback without logging in?

Yes. Users can submit visual feedback and bug reports directly from your app in a few clicks – no signup or login required. Less friction means more useful feedback.
