Release notes
When a Merge Request is set to Auto-merge, a webhook event is sent.
Problem to solve
Currently, webhook events are only sent when a MR is updated, closed or merged. Some users may wish to automate certain tasks when a developer sets a Merge Request to Auto-Merge (for example, send a notification, or handle failures in the auto merge process).
Proposal
When a user the Set to Auto-Merge button, a webhook event is generated similar to the events generated when a MR is updated.
Intended users
Platform Engineers may benefit from this by being able to build more reactive automation that responds to user intentions. Software Developers may benefit from the automation which this makes possible
