Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring Mailhook, GitLab, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.

Test the Scenario

Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Mailhook and GitLab integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Mailhook and GitLab (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.

Most powerful ways to connect Mailhook and GitLab

Mailhook + GitLab + Slack: When a specific email is received by Mailhook, an issue is created in GitLab, and a notification is sent to a Slack channel to inform the team about the new issue.

GitLab + Mailhook + Jira: On a new commit to GitLab, an email is triggered via Mailhook for approval. If the email receives a positive response (approval), a related task is created in Jira.
