Gate the GitLab merge request on a Vercel preview smoke run
On a GitLab merge request event, waits for the matching Vercel preview, runs smoke checks, and posts a commit status plus an MR note so the pipeline can require a green preview.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

- LogicClassify healthy vs broken
- OutputPost GitLab status and MR noteGitLab
What it does
Bridges GitLab merge requests and Vercel previews. When an MR is opened or updated, the workflow resolves the Vercel preview deployment for that branch, smoke-tests the ephemeral environment, and writes the result back to GitLab as a commit status and a threaded MR note. GitLab pipeline rules can then refuse to merge until the preview is verified.
When to use it
Use it when your repo lives in GitLab but your frontend deploys through Vercel, and you want the same running-environment gate GitHub users get. Ideal for teams that treat the preview as the source of truth for review.
How it works
- 1A GitLab merge request hook fires on open or push.
- 2A Vercel action looks up the preview deployment tied to the MR's source branch and waits for ready.
- 3An HTTP step exercises the preview's key paths and captures the results.
- 4A logic branch classifies the run as healthy or broken.
- 5A GitLab action posts the commit status and an MR note with the smoke summary and failing endpoints.
