# GitLab
[GitLab](https://gitlab.com/) is a web-based DevOps lifecycle tool that provides a Git repository manager providing wiki, issue-tracking, and continuous integration and deployment pipeline features, using an open-source license, developed by GitLab Inc.
Route detailed events from GitLab to the right users in Squadcast.
### How to integrate GitLab with Squadcast
### In Squadcast: Using GitLab as an Alert Source
1. Navigate to **Services** -> **Service Overview** -> select or search for your Service. Expand the accordion -> In the Alert Sources section, click **Add**.
2\. Select **GitLab**. Copy the displayed **Webhook URL** to [configure](#in-gitlab-create-a-squadcast-webhook) it within **GitLab.** Finish by clicking **Add Alert Source** -> **Done**.
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important:**
When an alert source turns Active, it’ll show up under Configured Alert Sources, you can either generate a test alert from the integration or wait for a real-time alert to be generated by the Alert Source. An Alert Source is active if there is a recorded incident via that Alert Source for the Service.
{% endhint %}
### In GitLab: Create a Squadcast Webhook
You can configure a Webhook for a group or a project.
**(1)** In your project or group, on the left sidebar, select **Settings > Webhooks**
**(2)** In the placeholder for **URL**, paste the previously copied Webhook from Squadcast
**(3)** In the **Trigger** section, select the **below events** to trigger the Webhook. Then, select **Add webhook**
* `Issues`
* `Pushes`
* `Merge Requests`
* `Releases`
{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:**
This integration supports the below GitLab events:
* `Issues` (Supports auto-resolution)
* `Pushes`
* `Merge Requests` (Supports auto-resolution)
* `Releases`
{% endhint %}
That is it, you are good to go!
Everytime an Issue, Push, Merge Request or a Release event occurs in GitLab, an incident would be created for it in Squadcast. When an Issue or a Merge Request is closed/merged in GitLab, the corresponding incident in Squadcast will be **automatically resolved**. For Pushes and Releases, the associated incidents must be manually resolved in Squadcast.
