GitLab Events

The built-in GitLab Events trigger initiates a flow when it receives a signal from a GitLab webhook.

Add the GitLab Events trigger to the canvas

  1. Go to the Triggers panel in the palette, expand the App Triggers section and drag the trigger onto the canvas.
  2. Double-click the trigger (or click the pencil icon).
  3. Set the authenticating user, and then copy the URL — you'll use this to set up the webhook in GitLab. Alternatively, you can create an integration user to use as the authenticating user.

  4. Click the Flood Control tab to edit the trigger's default flood control settings. For more information about these settings, see Trigger Flood Control.
  5. Click Done.
  6. On the flow canvas, connect the steps you want to run when xMatters receives a request to that URL.

You're now ready to configure GitLab to target the trigger.

Configure GitLab to send requests to the trigger URL

To have GitLab send alerts to the flow trigger, you need to configure a webhook and set it to use the trigger URL.
