Overview

This node operation retrieves the approval state of a specific merge request within a GitLab project. It is useful for developers and project managers who want to programmatically check the approval status of merge requests to manage code reviews and merge workflows efficiently. For example, it can be used in CI/CD pipelines to verify if a merge request has the necessary approvals before merging.

Use Case Examples

  1. Check the approval state of a merge request to decide if it can be merged.
  2. Automate notifications based on the approval status of merge requests.
