Webhook events (FREE ALL)

You can configure a webhook in your project that triggers when an event occurs. The following events are supported.

Event type Trigger
Push event A push is made to the repository.
Tag event Tags are created or deleted in the repository.
Issue event A new issue is created or an existing issue is updated, closed, or reopened.
Comment event A new comment is made on commits, merge requests, issues, and code snippets.
Merge request event A merge request is created, updated, merged, or closed, or a commit is added in the source branch.
Wiki page event A wiki page is created, updated, or deleted.
Pipeline event A pipeline status changes.
Job event A job status changes.
Deployment event A deployment starts, succeeds, fails, or is canceled.
Group member event A user is added or removed from a group, or a user's access level or access expiration date changes.
Subgroup event A subgroup is created or removed from a group.
Feature flag event A feature flag is turned on or off.
Release event A release is created or updated.
Emoji event An emoji is awarded or revoked.

NOTE: If an author has no public email listed in their GitLab profile, the email attribute in the webhook payload displays a value of [REDACTED].

Push events

Push events are triggered when you push to the repository, except when:

If you push more than 20 commits at once, the commits attribute in the payload contains information about the newest 20 commits only. Loading detailed commit data is expensive, so this restriction exists for performance reasons. The total_commits_count attribute contains the actual number of commits.

If you create and push a branch without any new commits, the commits attribute in the payload is empty.

Tag events

Tag events are triggered when you create or delete tags in the repository.

This hook is not executed if a single push includes changes for more than three tags by default (depending on the push_event_hooks_limit setting).

Issue events

Issue events are triggered when a new issue is created or an existing issue is updated, closed, or reopened.

The available values for object_attributes.action in the payload are:

  • open
  • close
  • reopen
  • update

The assignee and assignee_id keys are deprecated and contain the first assignee only.

The escalation_status and escalation_policy fields are only available for issue types which support escalations, such as incidents.

Comment events

Comment events are triggered when a new comment is made on commits, merge requests, issues, and code snippets.

The note data is stored in object_attributes (for example, note or noteable_type). The payload includes information about the target of the comment. For example, a comment on an issue includes specific issue information under the issue key.

The valid target types are:

  • commit
  • merge_request
  • issue
  • snippet

Merge request events

Merge request events are triggered when:

  • A new merge request is created.
  • An existing merge request is updated, approved (by all required approvers), unapproved, merged, or closed.
  • An individual user adds or removes their approval to an existing merge request.
  • A commit is added in the source branch.
  • All threads are resolved on the merge request.

The available values for object_attributes.action in the payload are:

  • open
  • close
  • reopen
  • update
  • approved
  • unapproved
  • approval
  • unapproval
  • merge

The field object_attributes.oldrev is only available when there are actual code changes, like:

Pipeline events

Pipeline events are triggered when the status of a pipeline changes.

In GitLab 13.9 and later, the pipeline webhook returns only the latest jobs.

In GitLab 15.1 and later, pipeline webhooks triggered by blocked users are not processed.

In GitLab 16.1 and later, pipeline webhooks started to expose object_attributes.name.

Job events

Job events are triggered when the status of a job changes.

The commit.id in the payload is the ID of the pipeline, not the ID of the commit.

In GitLab 15.1 and later, job events triggered by blocked users are not processed.

Request header:

Number of retries

retries_count is an integer that indicates if the job is a retry. 0 means that the job has not been retried. 1 means that it's the first retry.

Pipeline name

commit.name introduced in GitLab 15.8.

You can set custom names for pipelines with workflow:name. If the pipeline has a name, that name is the value of commit.name.

Deployment events

Deployment events are triggered when a deployment:

  • Starts (introduced in GitLab 13.5)
  • Succeeds
  • Fails
  • Is cancelled

The deployable_id in the payload is the ID of the CI/CD job.
