Webhook events

Tier: Free, Premium, Ultimate Offering: GitLab.com, Self-managed, GitLab Dedicated

This page lists the events that are triggered for project webhooks and group webhooks.

For a list of events triggered for system webhooks, see system webhooks.

Events triggered for both project and group webhooks:

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 or edited on commits, merge requests, issues, and code snippets. 1
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.
Feature flag event A feature flag is turned on or off.
Release event A release is created, updated, or deleted.
Emoji event An emoji reaction is added or removed.
Project or group access token event A project or group access token will expire in seven days.

Footnotes:

Events triggered for group webhooks only:

Event type Trigger
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.
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.

For issues and Service Desk issues, the object_kind is issue, and the type is Issue. For all other work items, the object_kind field is work_item, and the type is the work item type.

  • 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 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.

Number of retries

History

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

History

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
  • Succeeds
  • Fails
  • Is cancelled

The deployable_id and deployable_url in the payload represent a CI/CD job that executed the deployment. When the deployment event occurs by API or trigger jobs, deployable_url is null.

Group member events

Tier: Premium, Ultimate Offering: GitLab.com, Self-managed, GitLab Dedicated

These events are triggered for group webhooks only.

Member events are triggered when:

  • A user is added as a group member.
  • The access level of a user changes.
  • The expiration date for user access is updated.
  • A user is removed from the group.
