# Set up a group GitLab webhook
<a name="gitlab-group-webhook-setup"></a>

The high-level steps to set up a group GitLab webhook are as follows. For more information about group GitLab webhooks, see [GitLab group webhooks](gitlab-group-webhook.md).

1. Set your project's source location to `CODEBUILD_DEFAULT_WEBHOOK_SOURCE_LOCATION`.

1. In the webhook's scope configuration, set the scope to `GITLAB_GROUP`.

1. Specify a name as part of the webhook's scope configuration. For group webhooks, this is the group name.
**Note**  
If the project's source type is `GITLAB_SELF_MANAGED`, you will also need to specify a domain as part of the webhook scope configuration.

1. (Optional) If you would only like to receive webhook events for specific repositories within your organization or enterprise, you can specify `REPOSITORY_NAME` as a filter when creating the webhook.

1. When creating a group webhook, ensure that CodeBuild has permissions to create group level webhooks within GitLab. To do so, you can use CodeBuild OAuth though CodeConnections. For more information, see [GitLab access in CodeBuild](access-tokens-gitlab-overview.md).

   Note that group webhooks work with any of the existing GitLab webhook event types.
