# GitLab Webhooks

OX Security integrates with GitLab webhooks to enable commit status updates and merge request comments after scans.

> **Note:** GitLab webhook integrations do not support IDP-based credentials (such as OAuth or SSO). You must use personal or group access tokens.

### Step 1: Configure webhooks in GitLab

After configuring your connector in the OX platform, create a webhook in GitLab. You can set it at the group level or project level.

| Field            | Value                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **URL**          | `https://api.cloud.ox.security/api/gitlab/webhooks`                                                                                                                                                                |
| **Secret token** | [Your OX Security integration key.](/scan-and-analyze-with-ox/scanning/scanning-ci-cd-pipelines/integrating-source-control-platforms/direct-source-control-pipeline-integration/creating-ci-cd-integration-key.md) |
| **Triggers**     | Enable **Merge request events** and **Push events**, depending on your needs.                                                                                                                                      |

### Step 2: [Enable scanning with webhooks in OX Security](/scan-and-analyze-with-ox/scanning/scanning-ci-cd-pipelines/integrating-source-control-platforms/webhooks-pipeline-integration.md)

**For example:**

* **Commit status:** Appears as an external stage check in GitLab.

* **Merge request note:** A comment with scan details is added to the merge request.
