Raw Blame History

Webhooks

Note: Starting from GitLab 8.5:

the repository key is deprecated in favor of the project key

the project.ssh_url key is deprecated in favor of the project.git_ssh_url key

the project.http_url key is deprecated in favor of the project.git_http_url key

Note: Starting from GitLab 11.1, the logs of webhooks are automatically removed after one month.

Note: Starting from GitLab 11.2:

The description field for issues, merge requests, comments, and wiki pages is rewritten so that simple Markdown image references (like ![](/uploads/...)) have their target URL changed to an absolute URL. See image URL rewriting for more details.

Project webhooks allow you to trigger a URL if for example new code is pushed or a new issue is created. You can configure webhooks to listen for specific events like pushes, issues or merge requests. GitLab will send a POST request with data to the webhook URL.

In most cases, you'll need to set up your own webhook receiver to receive information from GitLab, and send it to another app, according to your needs. We already have a built-in receiver for sending Slack notifications per project.

Overview

Webhooks are "user-defined HTTP callbacks". They are usually triggered by some event, such as pushing code to a repository or a comment being posted to a blog. When that event occurs, the source app makes an HTTP request to the URI configured for the webhook. The action taken may be anything. Common uses are to trigger builds with continuous integration systems or to notify bug tracking systems.

Webhooks can be used to update an external issue tracker, trigger CI jobs, update a backup mirror, or even deploy to your production server. They are available per project for GitLab Community Edition, and per project and per group for GitLab Enterprise Edition.

Navigate to the webhooks page by going to your project's Settings ➔ Webhooks.

NOTE: Note: On GitLab.com, the maximum number of webhooks per project, and per group, is limited.

Use-cases

You can set up a webhook in GitLab to send a notification to Slack every time a job fails.
You can integrate with Twilio to be notified via SMS every time an issue is created for a specific project or group within GitLab
You can use them to automatically assign labels to merge requests.

Webhook endpoint tips

If you are writing your own endpoint (web server) that will receive GitLab webhooks keep in mind the following things:

Your endpoint should send its HTTP response as fast as possible. If you wait too long, GitLab may decide the hook failed and retry it.
Your endpoint should ALWAYS return a valid HTTP response. If you do not do this then GitLab will think the hook failed and retry it. Most HTTP libraries take care of this for you automatically but if you are writing a low-level hook this is important to remember.
GitLab ignores the HTTP status code returned by your endpoint.

Secret token

If you specify a secret token, it will be sent with the hook request in the X-Gitlab-Token HTTP header. Your webhook endpoint can check that to verify that the request is legitimate.

SSL verification

By default, the SSL certificate of the webhook endpoint is verified based on an internal list of Certificate Authorities, which means the certificate cannot be self-signed.

You can turn this off in the webhook settings in your GitLab projects.

Branch filtering

Introduced in GitLab 11.3.

Push events can be filtered by branch using a branch name or wildcard pattern to limit which push events are sent to your webhook endpoint. By default the field is blank causing all push events to be sent to your webhook endpoint.

Events

Below are described the supported events.

Push events

Triggered when you push to the repository except when pushing tags.

NOTE: Note: When more than 20 commits are pushed at once, the commits webhook attribute will only contain the first 20 for performance reasons. Loading detailed commit data is expensive. Note that despite only 20 commits being present in the commits attribute, the total_commits_count attribute will contain the actual total.

Also, if a single push includes changes for more than three (by default, depending on push_event_hooks_limit setting) branches, this hook won't be executed.

Comment events

Triggered when a new comment is made on commits, merge requests, issues, and code snippets. The note data will be stored in object_attributes (e.g. note, noteable_type). The payload will also include information about the target of the comment. For example, a comment on an issue will include the specific issue information under the issue key. Valid target types:

commit
merge_request
issue
snippet

Image URL rewriting

From GitLab 11.2, simple image references are rewritten to use an absolute URL in webhooks. So if an image, merge request, comment, or wiki page has this in its description:

![image](/uploads/$sha/image.png)

It will appear in the webhook body as the below (assuming that GitLab is installed at gitlab.example.com, and the project is at example-group/example-project):

![image](https://gitlab.example.com/example-group/example-project/uploads/$sha/image.png)

This will not rewrite URLs that already are pointing to HTTP, HTTPS, or protocol-relative URLs. It will also not rewrite image URLs using advanced Markdown features, like link labels.

Testing webhooks

You can trigger the webhook manually. Sample data from the project will be used.

For example: for triggering Push Events your project should have at least one commit.

Troubleshoot webhooks

GitLab stores each perform of the webhook. You can find records for last 2 days in "Recent Deliveries" section on the edit page of each webhook.

In this section you can see HTTP status code (green for 200-299 codes, red for the others, internal error for failed deliveries ), triggered event, a time when the event was called, elapsed time of the request.

If you need more information about execution, you can click View details link. On this page, you can see data that GitLab sends (request headers and body) and data that it received (response headers and body).

From this page, you can repeat delivery with the same data by clicking Resend Request button.

Note: If URL or secret token of the webhook were updated, data will be delivered to the new address.

Receiving duplicate or multiple webhook requests triggered by one event

When GitLab sends a webhook it expects a response in 10 seconds (set default value). If it does not receive one, it'll retry the webhook. If the endpoint doesn't send its HTTP response within those 10 seconds, GitLab may decide the hook failed and retry it.

If you are receiving multiple requests, you can try increasing the default value to wait for the HTTP response after sending the webhook by uncommenting or adding the following setting to your /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb:

gitlab_rails['webhook_timeout'] = 10

Troubleshooting: "Unable to get local issuer certificate"

When SSL verification is enabled, this error indicates that GitLab isn't able to verify the SSL certificate of the webhook endpoint. Typically, this is because the root certificate isn't issued by a trusted certification authority as determined by CAcert.org.

Should that not be the case, consider using SSL Checker to identify faults. Missing intermediate certificates are a common point of verification failure.

Example webhook receiver

If you want to see GitLab's webhooks in action for testing purposes you can use a simple echo script running in a console session. For the following script to work you need to have Ruby installed.

Save the following file as print_http_body.rb:

require 'webrick'

server = WEBrick::HTTPServer.new(:Port => ARGV.first)
server.mount_proc '/' do |req, res|
  puts req.body
end

trap 'INT' do
  server.shutdown
end
server.start

Pick an unused port (e.g. 8000) and start the script: ruby print_http_body.rb 8000. Then add your server as a webhook receiver in GitLab as http://my.host:8000/.

When you press 'Test' in GitLab, you should see something like this in the console:

{"before":"077a85dd266e6f3573ef7e9ef8ce3343ad659c4e","after":"95cd4a99e93bc4bbabacfa2cd10e6725b1403c60",<SNIP>}
example.com - - [14/May/2014:07:45:26 EDT] "POST / HTTP/1.1" 200 0
- -> /

NOTE: Note: You may need to allow requests to the local network for this receiver to be added.
