Overview

This node interacts with the GitLab API, specifically supporting the operation to create system hooks via the POST /api/v4/hooks endpoint. It is useful for automating the management of system hooks in GitLab, such as setting up notifications or integrations triggered by system events.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automatically create a system hook in GitLab to trigger a webhook on specific system events.
  2. Use the node to programmatically manage GitLab system hooks as part of a CI/CD pipeline setup.

Troubleshooting
