- Optional step; You can change bot's name and avatar by clicking modifying the bot name or avatar under Integration Settings.
Copy the Webhook URL, we'll need this later for GitLab.
On GitLab
After Slack is ready we need to setup GitLab. Here are the steps to achieve this.
Sign in to GitLab
Pick the repository you want.
Navigate to Settings -> Services -> Slack
Fill in your Slack details
- Mark it as active
- Paste in the webhook url you got from Slack
Have fun :)
P.S. You can set "branch,pushed,Compare changes" as highlight words on your Slack profile settings, so that you can be aware of new commits when somebody pushes them.
