Jira automation rule send web request issue

[MAHAMMAD AZEEM]

Hi Team,

I am trying to add an automation rule in Jira cloud to create a branch in Gitlab using condition: Send Web request

Below are the my settings:

Web request url: https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/<group_name>%2f<project_name>/repository/branches

HTTP Method: POST

Web Request body: Custom data
branch={{issue.customfield_10043}}&ref=main

Headers:

Headers "PRIVATE-TOKEN: glpt-xxxxxxxxxxx"
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Note that i also tried to change the project id to use project_id instead of url encode

also, i tried with Content-Type application/json but still i am getting below error when trying to validate the web request.

Response code: 404

{
  "message": "404 Project Not Found"
}

When i tried to run the same web request via curl POST command it works (meaning branch is created in gitlab).

Is there anything i am missing or not configured correctly ?

Please assist

Regards,

Azeem

Hi @MAHAMMAD AZEEM 

Welcome to the community.

In coding <> will not be correct, how do you provide the project ID, have you created a variable for this in the automation or set is to a default value?

Please show the automation rule in detail.

1. images that show your complete rule.

2. images showing the details of any relevant actions/conditions/branches.

3. images showing the Audit Log details for the rule execution.

Hi Marc,

<> this is not used.

Attached are the settings for this automation rule tried with Gitlab project ID.

So the project you are referencing does not exist, or you don't have the correct permissions or you payload is not correct.

Something you are using in the web request call is not correctly formatted.

This is in the call you are making towards the github API, that is providing you a 404.

Hi @MAHAMMAD AZEEM 

Did you use <> in your url? For me this looks like an issue.

Did you try use same configuration e.g. in postman or in CLI?

Hi Seba,

Thank you for the quick response.

Nope I didn't use <>

yes the curl request with same header data was successful, meaning able to create branch in gitlab .
