Overview

This node operation updates a custom header for a specific hook in a GitLab project using the GitLab API. It is useful for managing webhook configurations programmatically, such as modifying headers for authentication or custom data transmission in webhook requests. For example, a user can update the custom header key-value pair for a project hook to change how the webhook interacts with external services.

Use Case Examples

  1. Updating a custom header for a project hook to include a new authentication token.
  2. Modifying the value of an existing custom header to change webhook behavior.

Properties

Name Meaning
Skip Authentication Whether to skip authentication for the API request.
Authentication The authentication method used for the API request, typically an API key credential.
baseUrl The base URL of the GitLab instance to which the API request is sent.
Method The HTTP method used for the API request, typically PUT for this operation.
Parameter Schema Defines the path parameters and request body schema for the API call, including hook ID, custom header key, and project ID.
Request Body Schema The schema of the request body containing the custom header data to update.
Request Path The API endpoint path template for updating the custom header.
Path Parameters The actual values for the path parameters: hook_id, key (custom header key), and project id.

Output

JSON

  • responseData - The JSON response from the GitLab API after updating the custom header.

Dependencies

  • GitLab API authentication credential

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure that the provided project ID, hook ID, and custom header key are correct and exist in the GitLab project.
  • Verify that the authentication credentials are valid and have sufficient permissions to update project hooks.
  • Check the base URL to ensure it points to the correct GitLab instance, especially if using a self-hosted GitLab server.
  • Common error messages may include 404 Not Found if the hook or header key does not exist, or 401 Unauthorized if authentication fails.
