How to Create Reindex Triggers for a Single Repository

Last updated: March 2026

Create a webhook that triggers reindexing for a specific repository by following these requirements.

Requirements

Your webhook must meet these criteria:

1. The git_http_url in the request body must match the Repository Origin URL from your Jira git configuration (Git ➜ Manage repositories ➜ Actions ➜ Edit integration settings).

2. Set the Content-Type request header to application/json.

3. Include the webhook secret key from your git configuration page (Webhooks section).

Configure the Webhook

Send a POST request with this JSON body structure:

{
  "repository": {
    "git_http_url": "https://gitlab.com/your-org/your-repo.git"
  }
}

Replace https://gitlab.com/your-org/your-repo.git with your actual repository URL.

Example request:

Verify the Result

After sending the webhook request, the repository enters the indexing queue. You can verify this on the Git ➜ Manage git repositories page.
