# Helpdesk Git Webhook Tracking
The Helpdesk module can ingest signed Git push webhooks and automatically link commits to tickets when commit messages, branch names, or commit URLs contain a ticket reference such as `HD-2026-00012`.
## 1. Register the repository
Open the Helpdesk settings page:
```text
/helpdesk/settings
```
In the **Git** section, create a repository with:
| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Provider | `github`, `gitlab`, or `git` |
| Remote URL | Your repository remote URL |
| Default branch | Usually `develop` or `main` |
| Webhook secret | A strong random secret, for example `openssl rand -hex 32` |
After saving, the repository table shows the webhook endpoint:
```text
/api/helpdesk/git/webhook/{repository_id}
```
## 2. Ticket reference convention
Use the Helpdesk ticket reference in branch names and commit messages:
```bash
git checkout -b feature/HD-2026-00012-canned-responses
git commit -m "HD-2026-00012 Add canned response macro rendering"
```
The parser recognises this format:
```text
HD-YYYY-00000
```
The first matching reference is linked to the stored commit when the ticket exists and matches the repository company/project scope.
## 3. GitHub setup
In GitHub, open the repository settings and add a webhook:
| GitHub field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Payload URL | `https://your-app.test/api/helpdesk/git/webhook/{repository_id}` |
| Content type | `application/json` |
| Secret | Same value stored in Helpdesk |
| Events | Push events |
The module validates `X-Hub-Signature-256` using HMAC SHA-256 and rejects unsigned or invalid requests.
## 4. GitLab setup
In GitLab, open **Settings > Webhooks** and add:
| GitLab field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| URL | `https://your-app.test/api/helpdesk/git/webhook/{repository_id}` |
| Secret token | Same value stored in Helpdesk |
| Trigger | Push events |
The module validates `X-Gitlab-Token` and rejects invalid requests.
## 5. Generic Git provider setup
For a simple internal provider, send a JSON push payload to the same endpoint with:
```http
X-Helpdesk-Token: your-secret
X-Helpdesk-Event: push
```
The payload should include:
```json
{
"ref": "refs/heads/develop",
"commits": [
{
"id": "full-commit-hash",
"message": "HD-2026-00012 Fix ticket workflow",
"url": "https://example.test/commit/full-commit-hash",
"timestamp": "2026-06-15T10:00:00+00:00",
"author": {
"name": "Support Agent",
"email": "agent@example.com"
}
}
]
}
```
## 6. Audit trail
Every accepted, ignored, or rejected webhook delivery is recorded in:
```text
helpdesk_git_webhook_logs
```
Stored data includes provider, event, delivery id, status, message, commit count, linked count, ignored count, payload, and received timestamp.
## 7. Verification commands
Run the focused feature test after installing the updated module:
```bash
php artisan test Modules/Helpdesk/Tests/Feature/GitWebhookIngestionTest.php
```
Then run the full Helpdesk test set:
```bash
php artisan test Modules/Helpdesk/Tests/Feature Modules/Helpdesk/Tests/Unit
php artisan dusk Modules/Helpdesk/Tests/Browser
```
