Who is this template for? This template is designed for developers, DevOps engineers, and automation enthusiasts who want to streamline their GitLab merge request process using n8n, a low-code workflow automation tool. It eliminates manual intervention by automating the merging of GitLab branches through API calls. How it works ? Trigger the workflow: The workflow can be triggered by a webhook, a scheduled event, or a GitLab event (e.g., a new merge request is created or approved). Fetch Merge Request Details: n8n makes an API call to GitLab to retrieve merge request details. Check Merge Conditions: The workflow validates whether the merge request meets predefined conditions (e.g., approvals met, CI/CD pipelines passed). Perform the Merge: If all conditions are met, n8n sends a request to the GitLab API to merge the branch automatically. Setup Steps 1. Prerequisites An n8n instance (Self-hosted or Cloud) A GitLab personal access token with API access A GitLab repository with merge requests enabled 2. Create the n8n Workflow Set up a trigger: Choose a trigger node (Webhook, Cron, or GitLab Trigger).

Listen on new emails on a IMAP mailbox
Listen on new emails on a given IMAP mailbox. Converts the binary XML attachment to a stringified xmlproperty on the $data object and converts it to JSON. The Setnode could be replaced with Function nodes for example to do a conversion/mapping/transformation. The JSON is ultimately sent to a HTTP Endpoint via POST. This could be a starter for EDI purposes like receiving or transmitting XML data and conversion via JSON object property mapping.
