Overview

This node interacts with the GitLab API to retrieve the current user's status via the API v4 endpoint `/api/v4/user/status`. It is useful for workflows that need to check or monitor the authenticated user's status information in GitLab, such as presence, availability, or custom status messages.

Use Case Examples

  1. A workflow that triggers actions based on the user's GitLab status, e.g., sending notifications if the user is marked as 'away'.
  2. A monitoring system that logs user status changes for auditing or reporting purposes.

Troubleshooting

  • If authentication fails, ensure the GitLab API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.

  • HTTP method should be GET for this operation; using other methods may cause errors.
