# 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.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ox.security/scan-and-analyze-with-ox/scanning/scanning-ci-cd-pipelines/integrating-source-control-platforms/webhooks-pipeline-integration/gitlab-webhooks.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
