Prerequisites
- Access to your Bitrise workspace
- Admin permissions to create workspace tokens
Why Workspace Tokens?
Bitrise recommends Workspace API tokens for integrations because they provide centralized management, simplified setup, and better security — token access isn’t tied to individual user accounts, preventing disruption when team members leave.Setup
Create a Bitrise Workspace Token
- Log into your Bitrise account
- Navigate to your Workspace Settings
- Go to the Security tab
- Click “Create token”
- Configure the token:
- Name: “Gitar Integration”
- Expiration: Set according to your security policy (or no expiration)
- Role access: Choose “All apps” and set role to Developer or higher
- Click “Create” and copy the token immediately (you won’t be able to see it again)
For Gitar to monitor builds and access logs, the workspace token needs at least Developer role access to your apps.
Access Gitar Integrations
- Navigate to your Gitar organization settings
- Go to the Integrations section
- Find the Bitrise integration
- Click “Connect” to begin the setup process
Configure and Connect
Enter your Bitrise Workspace API Token. The token will be securely stored and encrypted.



- Fill in the required workspace token field
- Click “Connect Bitrise” to establish the connection
- If successful, the integration status will show as connected
- If the connection fails, verify your token is valid and has sufficient permissions
Troubleshooting
Connection Failed
Connection Failed
If your connection fails, verify:
- Workspace API token is correct and valid
- Token has at least Developer role access to your apps
- Token has not expired
- You have admin permissions to create workspace tokens
- Bitrise service is accessible
Invalid Token Error
Invalid Token Error
If you receive an “Invalid Bitrise API token or insufficient permissions” error:
- Check that you’ve copied the workspace token correctly
- Verify the token has Developer or higher role for the apps you want to monitor
- Ensure the token hasn’t expired
- Confirm you created a Workspace API token (not a Personal Access Token)
- Try creating a new workspace token if the issue persists
Missing Build Data
Missing Build Data
If Gitar isn’t detecting your builds:
- Ensure your repositories are connected to both your Git provider and Bitrise
- Verify your Bitrise apps are properly configured
- Check that status checks are enabled in your Git provider for Bitrise
- Confirm the workspace token has access to the relevant apps
Security Notes
- API tokens are encrypted and securely stored using AWS Secrets Manager
- Tokens can be revoked at any time from your Bitrise account settings
- We recommend rotating tokens regularly for enhanced security
- Use service accounts for production environments to avoid disruption when team members leave
- Only grant the minimum required scopes for your use case
