# Integrations

If you have previously worked with other tools and want to switch or need an integration to OpenProject, there is a way to do so for some applications.

## Gitlab

The GitLab integration to OpenProject is currently being developed and you can find all information [here](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/21933#note_309977508).
We are prioritizing this topic at the moment and will update this guide with the latest developments.

## Jira

Currently, there is no direct integration between OpenProject and Jira. Since OpenProject is an excellent open source alternative to Jira, we have prepared a way to import tickets from Jira to OpenProject. First, you can export your tasks from Jira into an Excel file and then import these tasks via an [Excel plugin into OpenProject](https://www.openproject.org/synchronize-excel-openproject/).

If you would like to learn more about the features of **OpenProject vs Jira** please read [here](https://www.openproject.org/jira-alternative/).

## Microsoft Project

There is an integration between MS Project and OpenProject. However, the synch plugin is not actively maintained at this time. If you wish to find out more, please [contact us](https://www.openproject.org/contact-us/).
To synchronize tasks from MS Project to OpenProject, you can export your MS Project file to Excel and then [synchronize it with OpenProject]( https://www.openproject.org/synchronize-excel-openproject/).
Here are some (German) videos how to synchronize Excel with OpenProject: https://youtu.be/kL4u7ew0yHk

## Trello

Currently, there is no direct integration between OpenProject and Trello. To synchronize tasks from Trello to OpenProject, export your tasks from Trello into an Excel file and then import these tasks via an [Excel plugin into OpenProject](https://www.openproject.org/de/synchronize-excel-openproject/).

If you would like to learn more about OpenProject's features vs Trello, please read [here](https://www.openproject.org/trello-alternative/).

## Toggl

We do offer an integration between OpenProject and the [time tracking app toggl](../time-and-costs/time-tracking/toggl-integration/).

## Slack

We do offer a rudimentary OpenProject Slack integration.
[Get in touch to find out more](https://www.openproject.org/contact-us/).

## Timesheet
Currently, there is no direct integration between OpenProject and Timesheet. If you are looking for a time tracking tool with a simple oush of a button, consider the integration with [Toggl](../time-and-costs/time-tracking/toggl-integration/).
