GitLab and Slack integration
Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for GitLab and Slack and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Development, workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.
How to connect GitLab and Slack
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.
Build your own GitLab and Slack integration
Create custom GitLab and Slack workflows by choosing triggers and actions. Nodes come with global operations and settings, as well as app-specific parameters that can be configured. You can also use the HTTP Request node to query data from any app or service with a REST API.
