# External Pipeline Validation
You can use an external service for validating a pipeline before it's created.
WARNING:
This is an experimental feature and subject to change without notice.
## Usage
GitLab sends a POST request to the external service URL with the pipeline
data as payload. GitLab then invalidates the pipeline based on the response
code. If there's an error or the request times out, the pipeline is not
invalidated.
Response Code Legend:
- `200` - Accepted
- `4xx` - Not Accepted
- Other Codes - Accepted and Logged
## Configuration
Set the `EXTERNAL_VALIDATION_SERVICE_URL` to the external service URL.
