Overview

This node operation updates the External Wiki service settings for a specific project in GitLab using the GitLab API. It is useful for automating the configuration of project services, particularly the external wiki integration, by sending a PUT request to the appropriate GitLab API endpoint with the required project ID and service configuration data.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automatically update the external wiki settings for a GitLab project as part of a CI/CD pipeline.
  2. Manage multiple GitLab projects' external wiki configurations programmatically through n8n workflows.
