Overview

This node interacts with the GitLab API to add email addresses to a specific user by their user ID. It is useful for automating user management tasks in GitLab, such as updating user contact information programmatically. For example, it can be used in workflows that synchronize user data from an external system to GitLab.

Use Case Examples

  1. Adding a new email address to a GitLab user by specifying the user ID and the email details in the request body.
  2. Automating user email updates in GitLab as part of a larger user management workflow.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the user ID provided in the path parameters is valid and exists in GitLab.
  • Verify that the API key used for authentication has sufficient permissions to modify user emails.
  • Check the request body schema to ensure the email data is correctly formatted according to GitLab API specifications.
  • If skipping authentication, ensure the GitLab instance allows unauthenticated requests for this operation, which is uncommon.
