Overview

This node operation triggers a test for a specific webhook trigger on a GitLab project. It is useful for developers or DevOps engineers who want to verify that their configured webhooks for project events (such as push events, merge requests, or pipeline events) are working correctly by sending a test trigger to the webhook endpoint.

Use Case Examples

  1. Testing a webhook configured for push events on a GitLab project to ensure it receives and processes the event correctly.
  2. Verifying that a merge request event webhook is properly set up by sending a test trigger through this node.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure that the provided project ID, hook ID, and trigger type are correct and exist in the GitLab instance.
