Integration
Automate with GitLab
GitLab powers your entire software development lifecycle. NVS connects GitLab merge requests, pipeline results, and security scans to Slack, Jira, and PagerDuty automatically.
Use Cases
When a GitLab merge request is opened, the correct reviewer is assigned based on the changed files, the team is notified in Slack, and a Jira issue is linked if referenced.
Trigger
MR Opened
gitlab.trigger
Fires when a new merge request is created in the repository.
Identify File Owners
nvs.set
Changed file paths matched against team ownership rules to find reviewer.
Assign Reviewer
gitlab.mr
Reviewer assigned to the MR. MR label added based on change scope.
Output
Notify in Slack
slack.message
Slack post to #code-review: MR title, author, files changed, and GitLab link.
When a GitLab CI pipeline fails on the main branch, a PagerDuty incident is created, the on-call engineer is paged, and the failure details are posted to #dev-ops.
