## What the automation does
- Listens to events in a specified GitLab repository via webhook
- Transmits event data (commit, merge request, push) to n8n
- Triggers a workflow in response to code changes
- Enables action chains: notifications, documentation updates, knowledge base sync
- Supports use cases like chat alerts on PRs, documenting commits, updating portals on merges
## What´s included
- Ready-to-use n8n workflow
- Trigger and event handling logic
