We rely on a GitLab Group Hook to enable:
1️⃣ Syncing changes to follow-ups in GitLab back to incident.io
2️⃣ Linking merge requests to incidents automatically when you mention the incident reference (e.g. INC-123) in a merge request.
3️⃣ Posting updates to merge requests in the incident channel, for example when a linked MR is merged.
🛠️ Setting up
You'll need a GitLab Group Owner to do this setup.
1️⃣ Find your secret token
Under Settings → Integrations → GitLab, you'll find a unique secret token. Copy this down - you'll need it to successfully configure the hook.
2️⃣ Create the hook
Within your top-level group, click Settings then Webhooks:
Then 'Add new webhook'.
For the URL use https://app.incident.io/webhooks/gitlab.
For the Secret token, paste in the secret token from the incident.io dashboard.
Under Trigger, select:
☑️ Issues events
☑️ Merge request events
Everything else can be left as the default. Click Add webhook.
3️⃣ Verify the connection
In Settings → Integrations → GitLab, you can see when the last webhook was received. Make a small change to an issue to trigger a webhook:
You're all set 🎉
