# Custom issue tracker service **(FREE)**
# Custom issue tracker **(FREE)**
Use a custom issue tracker that is not in the integration list.
You can integrate an [external issue tracker](../../../integration/external-issue-tracker.md)
with GitLab. If your preferred issue tracker is not listed in the
[integrations list](../../../integration/external-issue-tracker.md#integration),
you can enable a custom issue tracker.
After you enable the custom issue tracker, a link to the issue tracker displays
on the left sidebar in your project.

## Enable a custom issue tracker
To enable a custom issue tracker in a project:
1. Go to the [Integrations page](overview.md#accessing-integrations).
1. On the top bar, select **Menu > Projects** and find your project.
1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > Integrations**.
1. Select **Custom issue tracker**.
1. Select the checkbox under **Enable integration**.
1. Fill in the required fields:
- **Project URL**: The URL to view all the issues in the custom issue tracker.
- **Issue URL**: The URL to view an issue in the custom issue tracker. The URL must contain `:id`.
GitLab replaces `:id` with the issue number (for example,
`https://customissuetracker.com/project-name/:id`, which becomes `https://customissuetracker.com/project-name/123`).
GitLab replaces `:id` with the issue number (for example,
