How to connect GitLab and HTTP Request

Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Detect unused Android feature flags with GitLab, LaunchDarkly, Jira & Slack

Android Feature Flag Cleanup Bot (GitLab + LaunchDarkly) This n8n automation detects unused (“dead”) feature flags in an Android Kotlin/Java codebase by comparing your GitLab repository code against LaunchDarkly’s feature flag list. It logs results in Google Sheets, creates Jira tickets for cleanup and sends Slack alerts automatically. Who’s it for Android engineering teams using Kotlin/Java. Teams managing feature flags in LaunchDarkly. DevOps/QA teams wanting to reduce technical debt from stale flags. How it works Weekly Trigger runs the process. GitLab Node fetches repository code. Regex Extraction finds all feature flags in code. LaunchDarkly API retrieves all configured flags. Comparison Logic marks flags as “dead” if unused in code and archived or off in production. Google Sheets stores flagged results. Jira creates a ticket for each dead flag. Slack notifies the team. How to set up Import JSON into n8n. Connect credentials for: GitLab OAuth2 Google Sheets Jira Slack webhook URL Update: GitLab repo details in the GitLab node. LaunchDarkly API key in HTTP Request node. Google Sheet ID in Google Sheets node. Jira project & issue type in Jira node. Slack message formatting in Slack node. Activate workflow. Requirements n8n (self-hosted or cloud) GitLab repository with Kotlin/Java code LaunchDarkly account + API token Google Sheets API access Jira API access Slack incoming webhook How to customize Change regex pattern in “Detect flags” node if your flag naming convention differs. Adjust dead flag logic in “Find dead flags” node (e.g., treat test env separately). Modify Slack message to include more details (e.g., description from LaunchDarkly). Add email notifications for broader distribution. Add-ons Email Alerts via Gmail/SMTP. GitHub / GitLab MR to remove dead flags automatically. Confluence Integration to document flag cleanup history. Use Case Examples Weekly automated cleanup alerts for large engineering teams. Maintaining clean feature flag lists in high-traffic apps. Compliance-driven projects requiring flag lifecycle tracking. Common troubleshooting | Issue | Possible Cause | Solution | | ------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | | Workflow fails at GitLab node | Invalid repo path or missing OAuth scope | Update repo path & check GitLab OAuth permissions | | LaunchDarkly API request returns 401 | Invalid or expired API key | Generate a new API key in LaunchDarkly & update node | | Google Sheets node fails | Wrong Sheet ID or missing sharing permissions | Confirm Sheet ID and share with connected Google account | | Jira ticket not created | Missing required fields | Set project key, issue type, and summary in Jira node | | Slack alert not sent | Webhook URL invalid or revoked | Regenerate Slack webhook and update in node | Need Help? If you’d like, we can help set up and customize this workflow for your exact repo, flag rules and team notification preferences — including regex adjustments, extra reporting or adding automatic cleanup PRs.
