Overview

This node interacts with the GitLab API, specifically supporting the operation to trigger Mattermost slash commands for a project service. It is useful for automating interactions between GitLab projects and Mattermost by programmatically triggering slash commands within a project context. For example, it can be used to send commands to Mattermost from GitLab workflows or CI/CD pipelines.

Use Case Examples

  1. Triggering a Mattermost slash command for a specific GitLab project to notify a team about a deployment status.
  2. Automating the sending of custom commands to Mattermost channels based on GitLab project events.

Properties

Name Meaning
Skip Authentication Determines whether to skip authentication for the API request.
Authentication Specifies the authentication method to use, hidden if Skip Authentication is true.
baseUrl The base URL of the GitLab instance to which the API requests are sent.
Method The HTTP method used for the API request.
Path Parameters Parameters included in the request path, specifically the project ID or URL-encoded path.

Output

JSON

  • id - The ID or URL-encoded path of the GitLab project for which the Mattermost slash command is triggered.
  • response - The response from the GitLab API after triggering the Mattermost slash command, typically containing status and result details.

Dependencies

  • GitLab API authentication credential

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the project ID provided in the path parameters is correct and accessible with the authenticated user.
  • Verify that the GitLab API base URL is correct and reachable.
  • Check that the authentication credentials are valid and have sufficient permissions to trigger Mattermost slash commands on the project.
  • If skipping authentication, ensure the GitLab instance allows unauthenticated API requests for this operation.
