Overview

This node operation deletes a specific merge request from a GitLab project using the GitLab API. It is useful for automating the management of merge requests, such as removing outdated or unwanted merge requests programmatically. For example, a user can integrate this node in a workflow to clean up merge requests after a feature branch is merged or abandoned.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automatically delete a merge request after it has been merged to keep the project clean.
  2. Remove a merge request that was created by mistake or is no longer needed.
