Error when using webhooks

How to Use GitLab
1

Hi,
Im attempting to run a webhook into MS Teams but when I test the hook from GitLab I get the following error:-

“hook executed successfully but returned HTTP 400 summary or text is required”

I can run the command manually and its successful.

curl -H “Content-Type: application/json” -d “{“text”: “Hello World”}” https://hookaddress

Using different versions of GitLab CE and have just tried 8.14.0 with the same error

Anyone advise?

Thanks.

I also see this error with MS Teams. This prevents MS Teams from getting notifications from GItLab webhooks.

Is this solved? I am having the same issue with Gitlab version 9.4.5

The gitlab help docs have test JSON body that you can use to test from postman:

{
“object_kind”: “merge_request”,

The error “…summary or text is required” is coming from MS Teams. The body needs to include a “summary”: “value” or “text”: “value” in the JSON body. Notice how the curl command has a value for “text”. That’s why it works. Why gitlab is not included this vital piece of data is unknown to me. Probably a defect.

I’m also seeing this trying to setup a webhook with teams, since I can’t find any other help documents around this I figured maybe bumping this would help.

Also having this issue. Anyone found a solution?

You should rather set up a Teams webhook through Settinsg → Integrations → Microsoft Teams Notification and then on Teams side, you click on … next to a chat and add a incoming hook connector with the URL you get from gitlab.
