events-backend-module-gitlab

Welcome to the events-backend-module-gitlab backend module!

This package is a module for the events-backend backend plugin and extends the event system with an GitlabEventRouter.

The event router will subscribe to the topic gitlab and route the events to more concrete topics based on the value of the provided $.event_name payload field.

Examples:

Please find all possible webhook event types at the official documentation.
