How to do GitLab google chat integration when A pipeline status changes | To set up email alerts for failed GitLab CI/CD jobs to a Gmail group, you can follow these steps:

 To integrate GitLab with Google Chat and receive notifications when a pipeline status changes, you can use GitLab's webhooks along with Google Chat's incoming webhook integration. Here's a step-by-step guide to set it up:

1. Get Google Chat Webhook URL:

   • Open Google Chat and navigate to the room where you want to receive notifications.
   • Click on the room settings (three dots) and select "Configure webhooks."
   • Click on "Add webhook" and give it a name. Copy the webhook URL generated.

2. Configure GitLab Webhook:

   • In your GitLab project, go to Settings > Integrations.
   • Paste the Google Chat webhook URL obtained in the previous step into the "URL" field.
   • Choose the events you want to trigger notifications. In this case, you'll want to select "Pipeline events."

3. Create a GitLab CI/CD Pipeline:

   • Make sure your project has a .gitlab-ci.yml file defining the pipeline stages and jobs.

4. Add Script to Send Notifications:

   • Within your pipeline script (e.g., in a stage where you determine the pipeline status), use curl or any HTTP client to send a POST request to the Google Chat webhook URL with the notification payload.

Here's a simplified example:

stages: - build - test - deploy build_job: stage: build script: - # Your build commands here test_job: stage: test script: - # Your test commands here deploy_job: stage: deploy script: - # Your deployment commands here after_script: - 'curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"text\": \"Pipeline Status: $CI_PIPELINE_URL $CI_PIPELINE_STATUS\"}" YOUR_GOOGLE_CHAT_WEBHOOK_URL'

Replace YOUR_GOOGLE_CHAT_WEBHOOK_URL with the webhook URL obtained from Google Chat.

5. Commit and Push Changes:
   • Save your changes to .gitlab-ci.yml and commit them to your GitLab repository.
   • Push the changes to trigger the CI/CD pipeline.

Now, whenever the pipeline status changes (e.g., from running to success or failure), GitLab will send a notification to the configured Google Chat room via the webhook URL.

Ensure you handle errors and authentication properly in your script, especially if sensitive information is involved in the notification. Additionally, customize the message payload to include relevant information about the pipeline status.

To set up email alerts for failed GitLab CI/CD jobs to a Gmail group, you can follow these steps:

1. Configure Outgoing Email Settings in GitLab:

   • Go to your GitLab instance and navigate to Settings > Outgoing Email.
   • Configure the SMTP settings for your Gmail account. You'll need to provide the SMTP server address (smtp.gmail.com), port (usually 587 for TLS), your Gmail address, and password. Ensure you enable TLS encryption.

2. Create a Gmail Group:

   • Log in to your Gmail account and create a group containing the email addresses you want to receive alerts. You can do this through Google Contacts.

3. Create a GitLab CI/CD Pipeline Configuration:

   • In your GitLab project, create or modify the .gitlab-ci.yml file.
   • Configure the job to send an email notification to your Gmail group in case of failure. You can use the notify directive for this purpose.

Here's an example .gitlab-ci.yml configuration:

stages: - test test_job: stage: test script: - echo "Running tests..." # Add your test commands here after_script: - if [ "$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME" == "master" ]; then echo "Sending email notification..."; echo "Subject: CI/CD Pipeline Failed in project $CI_PROJECT_PATH" | sendmail -v -t your-gmail-group@example.com; fi only: - master

In this example:

• The test_job is configured to run tests.
• In the after_script section, it checks if the pipeline is running on the master branch (you can adjust this condition based on your requirements).
• If the condition is met, it sends an email notification using sendmail to the specified Gmail group.

4. Commit and Push Changes:
   • Save your changes to .gitlab-ci.yml and commit them to your GitLab repository.
   • Push the changes to trigger the CI/CD pipeline and verify that email notifications are sent to your Gmail group when the job fails.

Make sure you replace your-gmail-group@example.com with the actual email address of your Gmail group. Additionally, ensure that your Gmail account allows less secure apps to access it (since GitLab uses SMTP).
