Overview

This node operation triggers the execution of a specific pipeline schedule for a project in GitLab. It is useful for automating the running of predefined pipeline schedules without manual intervention. For example, a user can programmatically start a pipeline schedule to test or deploy code at specific times or events.

Use Case Examples

  1. Trigger a pipeline schedule to run a CI/CD pipeline for project ID 18 and pipeline schedule ID 13.
  2. Automate the execution of scheduled pipelines in GitLab projects via n8n workflows.
