What is the Usage Ping Request

Usage Ping Request is a project that handles requests for data deletion stemming from Usage Ping. The project handles the form used to make the requests, and works with the Usage ping request zap to create issues within GitLab.com.

How does the Usage Ping Request work

Usage Ping Request works utilizing two components:

GitLab Pages

This stems from GitLab CI/CD that uses an index.html file to generate a webform via GitLab pages. The CI/CD runs only on commits to the master branch.

The index.html file contains a webhook to Zapier that enables Zapier to process the request submission.

Zapier

Zapier takes the request from the webform and generates a gitlab.com issue using service desk.
