GitLab manual webhooks
You can configure manual GitLab webhooks to prevent CodeBuild from automatically attempting to create a webhook within GitLab. CodeBuild returns a payload URL as part of the call to create the webhook, which can be used to manually create the webhook within GitLab. Even if CodeBuild is not allowlisted to create a webhook in your GitLab account, you can still manually create a webhook for your build project.
Use the following procedure to create a GitLab manual webhook.
