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 @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 .
