The problem it solves

Turning webhook notifications on or off for a GitLab project usually means digging through repository settings, which is easy to get wrong if you're not technical. Your dev team ends up spending time on a task that should take seconds. A simple form removes the guesswork.

Who it fits

A development team or technical lead who manages GitLab repositories and wants a quick way to toggle webhook notifications.

How it works

  1. You submit a repository address through a simple form
  2. The system checks whether a webhook is already connected to that project
  3. If one exists, it removes it
  4. If none exists, it creates one
What you get

Webhook connections toggled without digging through settings

You submit a repository link and its webhook connection is switched on or off for you automatically.

What you get

A GitLab project with its webhook either connected or removed, without touching repository settings directly.

What you need

A GitLab account with API access enabled.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
