When does Bitbucket fire on new issues?

Short answer: Drop the "Bitbucket → Issue Created" trigger on your workflow canvas, add filters if you want them, and publish. It fires within seconds of the event in Bitbucket, not on a polling schedule.

for the curious

You don’t need to read this. Tiny Command auto-maps every field into the visual picker so downstream nodes can pull values by clicking. We show it here for power users who want to know what’s on the wire.

  "id": 1,
  "state": "new",
  "title": "Bug report",
  "priority": "major",

FAQ

Questions about Issue Created.

How does the Issue Created trigger work in Bitbucket?

Fires when a new issue is created in a Bitbucket repository. Payload includes the issue title, body, reporter, labels, and milestone if assigned. Useful for "auto-route issues to the right team channel" or "create matching Linear/Jira issue for cross-tracker sync" workflows.

Is the Issue Created trigger real-time?

Yes. Issue Created uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Bitbucket.

What data does Issue Created return?

The full event payload from Bitbucket. The output shape table on this page lists every field, its type, and an example value so you can map fields into downstream nodes.

Can I filter Issue Created so only some events start a workflow?

Yes. Add a Filter node right after the trigger and match on any field, whether that's subject, sender, status, or anything else in the payload. Workflows only continue when the filter passes.

Do I need Bitbucket admin permissions to use Issue Created?

For most Bitbucket accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some Bitbucket plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check Bitbucket's docs if the trigger fails to register.
