Integrations (FREE)
Integrations allow you to integrate GitLab with other applications. They are a bit like plugins in that they allow a lot of freedom in adding functionality to GitLab.
Accessing integrations
You can find the available integrations under your project's Settings > Integrations page.
There are more than 20 integrations to integrate with. Click on the one that you want to configure.

Push hooks limit
Introduced in GitLab 12.4.
If a single push includes changes to more than three branches or tags, services
supported by push_hooks
and tag_push_hooks
events aren't executed.
The number of branches or tags supported can be changed via
push_event_hooks_limit
application setting.
Project integration management
Project integration management lets you control integration settings across all projects of an instance. On the project level, administrators you can choose whether to inherit the instance configuration or provide custom settings.
Read more about Project integration management.
Service templates
Service templates were a way to set predefined values for a project integration across all new projects on the instance. They are deprecated and scheduled to be removed in GitLab 14.0.
GitLab recommends you use project integration management instead of service templates. GitLab versions 13.3 and later provide instance-level integrations you can use. instead.
Troubleshooting integrations
Some integrations use service hooks for integration with external applications. To confirm which ones use service hooks, see the integrations listing above. GitLab stores details of service hook requests made within the last 2 days. To view details of the requests, go to that integration's configuration page.
The Recent Deliveries section lists the details of each request made within the last 2 days:
- HTTP status code (green for 200-299 codes, red for the others,
internal error
for failed deliveries) - Triggered event
- URL to which the request was sent
- Elapsed time of the request
- Relative time in which the request was made
To view more information about the request's execution, click the respective View details link. On the details page, you can see the request headers and body sent and received by GitLab.
To repeat a delivery using the same data, click Resend Request.
Uninitialized repositories
Some integrations fail with an error Test Failed. Save Anyway
when you attempt to set them up on
uninitialized repositories. Some integrations use push data to build the test payload,
and this error occurs when no push events exist in the project yet.
To resolve this error, initialize the repository by pushing a test file to the project and set up the integration again.
Contributing to integrations
Because GitLab is open source we can ship with the code and tests for all plugins. This allows the community to keep the plugins up to date so that they always work in newer GitLab versions.
For an overview of what integrations are available, please see the project_services source directory.
Contributions are welcome!
