System hooks (FREE SELF)

Your GitLab instance can perform HTTP POST requests on the following events:

  • group_create
  • group_destroy
  • group_rename
  • key_create
  • key_destroy
  • project_create
  • project_destroy
  • project_rename
  • project_transfer
  • project_update
  • repository_update
  • user_add_to_group
  • user_add_to_team
  • user_create
  • user_destroy
  • user_failed_login
  • user_remove_from_group
  • user_remove_from_team
  • user_rename
  • user_update_for_group
  • user_update_for_team

The triggers for most of these are self-explanatory, but project_update and project_rename deserve some clarification: project_update is fired any time an attribute of a project is changed (including name, description, and tags) unless the path attribute is also changed. In that case, a project_rename is triggered instead (so that, for instance, if all you care about is the repository URL, you can just listen for project_rename).

user_failed_login is sent whenever a blocked user attempts to sign in and is denied access.

System hooks can be used, for example, for logging or changing information in an LDAP server.

NOTE: We follow the same structure and deprecations as Webhooks for Push and Tag events, but we never display commits.

Create a system hook

To create a system hook:

  1. On the top bar, select Menu > Admin.
  2. On the left sidebar, select System Hooks.
  3. Provide the URL and Secret Token.
  4. Select the checkbox next to each Trigger you want to enable.
  5. Select Enable SSL verification, if desired.
  6. Click Add system hook.
