Other use cases

Broadcast GitLab commits to main

Keep track of GitLab commits to the main branch without leaving Slack.

How it works:

Reserve dedicated Slack channels to output from GitLab. 

Whenever a merge request is committed into the default (main) branch, a message is automatically posted in the channel with a link to your repo allowing you to view differences in your codebase.

How to get started:

To begin with the PR review in Slack with GitLab,

  1. Sign up to Actioner.
  2. Install GitLab merge request management.
  3. Connect Slack and GitLab
  4. Run setup workflows. First select the repositories that you’ll get notified for the new merge requests and next create a GitLab updates channel to notify your team for commit events to default branch.

Once you set up the app, automatically, a broadcast channel will be created, and Actioner will start sending notifications to that channel when changes are committed to the default (main) branch in GitLab.
