Accept a 3rd party URL in the deployment API
Release notes
Problem to solve
As a release manager using a 3rd party deployment service, I want to reach the deployment job from the deployment page of GitLab, so I can get more information related to the specific deployment.
GitLab allows a link at the environment level. Moreover, we link to the job from the deployment history/detail pages. Could we link to external systems from the history/detail page?
Proposal
Extend the deployments API to accept a job URL. If the deployment is registered from an external source, show the provided url as the job URL.
Intended users
Feature Usage Metrics
- MAU clicking on the job links from the history and detail pages
- number of projects (by month) registering external URLs with the deployments API
- number of deployments (by month) created by the API adding an external URL
Does this feature require an audit event?
No
