We have a working mattermost hosted by out own Gitlab CE docker image.

```auto
Mattermost Version: 5.2.2
Database Schema Version: 5.2.0
Database: postgres

```

and

```auto
GitLab Community Edition 11.3.6 3c1fdf6

```

When typing “i also created #7” in a mattermost message, I get the following in the chat

![image](https://cdck-file-uploads-us1.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/flex020/uploads/mattermost/original/2X/a/a6566d4373f3b0a6acd0d5f9fb408fbd629db7f1.jpeg)

If i click the “Sign in” link I am taken to the gitlab issue page to the relevant issue.

How do I set up mattermost and gitlab to display a summary of the issue instead of the “Sign in” box?

Hi @mowijo,

Can you help with more details on the payload you’re using and we can take a look if anything needs to be modified?

Here’s more information on webhooks:

I’m having the same issue but we’re hosting Mattermost and Gitlab separate servers.

Gitlab version: v16.8.1  
Mattermost version: 9.2

Are you using [GitLab Plugin - Mattermost](https://mattermost.com/marketplace/gitlab-plugin/) and following the docs there?

Already setup the integration. We get the notifications and have integration visible. Do you know if the issue preview should be available when we post a link to it? Or any Gitlab preview for that matter such as a Merge Request?
