Overview

This node interacts with the GitLab API to update the authenticated user's status using a PATCH request to the /api/v4/user/status endpoint. It is useful for automating status updates in GitLab, such as setting availability or custom status messages programmatically.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automatically update your GitLab user status at the start of a workday.
  2. Clear or change your GitLab status based on project milestones or events.

Properties

Name Meaning

Authentication Specifies the authentication method to use, defaulting to GitLab API key authentication.
baseUrl The base URL of the GitLab instance to which the request is sent, defaulting to https://gitlab.com.
Method The HTTP method to use for the request, with PATCH as the relevant method for this operation.
Parameter Schema Defines the schema for the request body parameters required for the patchApiV4UserStatus operation.
Request Body Schema Defines the schema for the request body content for the patchApiV4UserStatus operation.

Output

JSON

  • status - The updated user status information returned from GitLab API after the PATCH request.

Dependencies

  • GitLab API key credential for authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the GitLab API key credential is correctly configured and has permission to update user status.
  • Verify the baseUrl is correct and accessible, especially if using a self-hosted GitLab instance.
  • Check that the request body matches the expected schema for updating user status to avoid validation errors.
