Overview

This node operation updates a broadcast message in GitLab using the PUT method on the /api/v4/broadcast_messages/{id} endpoint. It is useful for modifying existing broadcast messages by specifying the message ID and providing the updated message details in the request body. Practical applications include automating updates to announcements or notifications broadcasted within a GitLab instance.

Use Case Examples

  1. Updating the content or timing of a GitLab broadcast message by specifying its ID and new details.
  2. Automating the management of broadcast messages in GitLab projects or groups.
