Auto-Create Outline Docs for GitLab Releases

This workflow automates documentation for GitLab releases by listening for tag push events in a specified repository. When a release is detected, it creates a new document in Outline with the release title, description, and a direct link to more info.

Key benefits include eliminating manual documentation tasks, ensuring consistent release records, and integrating seamlessly with GitLab and Outline. It's ideal for development teams, open-source projects, or any GitLab users wanting to centralize release notes without extra effort.

Setup is straightforward: configure GitLab credentials, specify repository details, set Outline's collectionId and optional parentDocumentId in the HTTP node. Requires the GitLab trigger PR to be merged. Example output provides a shareable Outline doc.

Use cases: Track software releases for internal wikis, notify teams via structured docs, or archive release history automatically. Simple 3-node flow saves hours on repetitive admin work.
