Webhook events

DETAILS: 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.
Work item event	A new work item is created or an existing one is edited, 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, edited, merged, or closed, or a commit is added in the source branch.
Wiki page event	A wiki page is created, edited, 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, edited, 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:

Comment events triggered when the comment is edited introduced in GitLab 16.11.

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.
Project event	A project is created or deleted in a group.
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:

You push tags.
A single push includes changes for more than three branches by default (depending on the push_event_hooks_limit setting).

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.

Work item events

type attribute in object_attributes introduced in GitLab 17.2.

Support for epics introduced in GitLab 17.3. Your administrator must have enabled the new look for epics.

Work item events are triggered when a work item is created, edited, closed, or reopened. The supported work item types are:

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.

For work item type Epic, to get events for changes, the webhook must be registered for the group.

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.

The available target types are:

commit
merge_request
issue

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.

Request header:

Number of retries

retries_count introduced in GitLab 15.6 with a flag named job_webhook_retries_count. Disabled by default.

retries_count enabled on self-managed in GitLab 16.2.

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
Succeeds
Fails
Is canceled

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

DETAILS: Tier: Premium, Ultimate

Access request events introduced in GitLab 17.4.

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.
A user requests access to the group.
An access request is denied.
